[Chicago] Suggestions for things to see in Chicago

[Atul Varma]

Michael, I'm glad that you found my suggestions helpful--please let me
know if there's anything else you need to know about our city.

If you're interested, there's also a number of community festivals and
other interesting events going on in Chicago during the summer.
Information about them--along with city-specifc news, articles,
essays, and photography--can be found at an excellent local
blog/webzine called Gaper's Block:
