Heading to Chicago for four days
« on: August 18, 2016, 09:29:07 pm »
My first time in Chicago.  Going for two concerts of Pearl Jam on the 20th and 22nd at Wrigley Field.  I am a big PJ fan.


Any recommendations of things to do while there?


I plan to take in an evening at Buddy Guy's Legends as it's within walking distance of the Hard rock Hotel, where we are staying.


Let the vacation begin!

I'm not sure where the Hardrock is, but I do not remember any hotels near BG's.  It is well worth the cab or Uber fare.  Even if Buddy is not there they always have a good band.  Watch out for those cubby fans, I have never met a nice one......

If you're a museum guy, they have world class ones, some of the downtown architecture is also nice!, bring rain gear, MI is wet all weekend, and well, it always comes from the windy city.  If you like driving, get a rental (with insurance) and run the Dan Ryan at rush hour :icon_biggrin:

+1 on the museums - just don't spend the night!  Also Shed aquarium is world class.
