Nice. However, other than for deep-dish pizza, I have no desire to go to Chicago. |

If you have any interest in architecture, there are several Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in Oak Park. Also various facilities on the IIT campus by Mies van der Rohe. |

But Chicago is where they filmed "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" |

That city is far too violent, far too dangerous, for me to desire to visit it any time soon. Pass. Cheers! |

Having driven in Chicago traffic, and seeing how they tax everything, and seeing the amount of danger and violence there…No thank you. |

"That city is far too violent, far too dangerous, for me to desire to visit it any time soon. Pass. Cheers!" LOL! Bryan shooting was 8th mass shooting in Texas so far this year

My wife and her friends were in Chicago last month. They didn't see any crime. Stay out of the hood and it's not so scary. |

Bryan shooting was 8th mass shooting in Texas so far this year That's just your typical weekend in Chicago. Nothing to laugh about. |

I haven't been to Chicago in a long time, but I have a hard time believing that the Magnificent Mile and the Wright and van der Rohe sites are going to present any real problems. Plus, deep-dish pizza. |

If you go… don't forget your bag…

I don't care for Chicago, can't stand Chicago traffic and, most importantly, new Trek sucks! |
