I used to live here… nice place to live, but there’s not a lot to do besides wander down Lawerence and be amazed at the cultural diversity (it’s the most diverse immigrant neighborhood in Chicago). And maybe eat somewhere. It’s a neat neighborhood, but not really a tourist destination.

I could see and I’m 5’2”... Thumbs up!

Eh. I grew up near here, I used to go to Terre Haute if I wanted to go to a movie or to the mall. A lot of my friends go to ISU and rose hulman. Terre Haute’s not a bad place, it’s not that exciting, and it smells because of the paper factory. Check it out if you want, and it’s fine to live there, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.

I grew up about five miles from this park, and went to the school across the road. It’s a nice place, it’s got some beautiful scenery, and canoing is fun on sugar creek (a LOT of people in the summer though… actually, that goes for hiking and camping, too, especially on holiday weekends.)

There’s not a lot else to see in the area, so if you’re around, check it out.

Love this place. It’s a great museum, one of the best children’s museums. I used to go here all the time growing up. One of the best things (if not the best thing) that Indianapolis has to offer. Lots of different exhibits, a lot of interaction, and it’s big.

This is one of my favorite places in the world, no joke. I used to work near here and go all the time. It’s one of the most relaxing places I found in Chicago.

It’s better and bigger than the Lincoln Park conservatory, and there aren’t as many people there, because it’s a little more out of most tourists way and the neighborhood can be a little sketchy. But it’s a pretty awesome place. Beautiful and peaceful.

I used to go here a lot. It’s not the most amazing zoo around, but it’s free and it’s in the middle of chicago and it’s a pretty neat spot just to stop by for a while. Right near there is also the lake and the conservatory and the nature museum, which are all cool places to go as well.

Mmmm. Kind of expensive, messy, and crowded, but if you can get past that, the popcorn is pretty amazing.

This is a neat idea, it’s just pretty expensive and incredibly crowded… you can’t even walk.

This was a neat idea, I think that it’ll get better as they learn what they’re doing (I think it’s going to be a annual thing?). Neat energetic feeling and lots of things to see, as well as things for a lot of different ages and interests. It tended toward the weird (Mucca Pazza, Redmoon Theatre, and giant mice in flaming exercise wheels) but it was a lot of fun.

My only problem was that it was supposed to be “all night” but there wasn’t really much to do from 2 am to the sunrise things at 5 or 6 am, so I ended up leaving at 1 am. But I guess it’s understandable that they wouldn’t have a lot of stuff going on when there weren’t many people still out.
