Great town to live in. Winters can be very cold but Spring, Summer and Fall are wonderful. Plenty of things to do from night life to museums to shopping. Something for everyone. I have lived in smaller towns and NYC. Chicago is a great compromise for both...

Not a safe street.

S Cottage Grove Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By belleskids on Dec 20, 2008
2/5
I had the great luck of having to set up a store on this street. I was told by a police officer to make sure I was out of the neighborhood before two in the afternoon as it was not a safe place for me to be. I would avoid it if I could and defiantly would not...

A Main Road into Chicago

E Roosevelt Road, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By MLiebers on Dec 19, 2008
4/5
Roosevelt Ave, for me, most importantly gives great views of downtown Chicago. At the Eastern End of the road, one runs into the John Shedd Aquarium, and a number of other hotspots. At this point, you would probably be wise to find some parking and do the re...

Places to eat and Bunk for the Night

W Cermak Road, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By MLiebers on Dec 19, 2008
4/5
Cermak Road is probably most famous for the fact that it is the central hub of Chinatown in Chicago. Next down the road is the twenty third Street grounds where the old Chicago White Stockings played baseball. If you are looking for a good priced hotel, this...

A Typical Chicago Neighborhood (With A Few Perks)

N Oconto Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By Stare05 on Dec 19, 2008
4/5
The N. Oconto neighborhood in Chicago is the proto-typical city neighborhood that runs basically parallel to Harlem Ave. Tree surrounded single family homes with the scattered apartments here or there line frequently speed-bumped streets. Classier near the Edi...

A must if you visit this city

Columbus Drive, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By MLiebers on Dec 19, 2008
5/5
Columbus Drive is known as tourist central for good reason. At the base of downtown, it offers beautiful views of the city. Driving can be annoyingly sluggish so it is best to wander around on foot here. Other attractions include the Chicago Art Institute,...
