There is a lot of Culture in Chicago also. Just take your pick: Broadway, the Opera, the Ballet, a Bears Game, Cubs Game, the White Sox Game, Bulls Game, or even The Oprah Winfrey Show:)

We went to 'Wicked' and loved it. Ryan even bought the soundtrack.

Ryan went to a baseball game last year. I hope I can hit one this year:)

Diversity in Chicago

CHINA TOWN

Chicago has a lot of Diversity. It's really fun to visit China Town, especially if we stop and eat!

INDIA TOWN

It's also a lot of fun to walk through India Town, though I wasn't a fan of eating there.


We do like to eat at GREEK TOWN though(sorry, no pictures).

Random Tidbits

There are fountains everywhere! I was actually surprised by how well Chicago does with its landscaping.

Chicago has its beauty, but is also has its dark side. A lot of things get stolen, people get mugged or killed, and there's no room for my horse! Safety is usually a matter of common sense though so don't let this scare you off. Come visit us!

Ah, the subway! You haven't truly experienced Chicago without using their public transportation.

Shopping

Chicago has a lot to offer as far as shopping goes. Not only do we have the 'Magnificent Mile,' Chicago also has some fun, unique stores! Though I have to admit it can get pricey.
