And don’t you DARE go to Macy’s. I am still grieving the loss of Field’s on State, where I worked in college for a summer. So-no Macy’s, Jim, okay? I even cut up my Field’s card. ☹ :mad: If you want somewhere to go to just wander around, go to Navy Pier or just walk the lakefront–it’s gorgeous. I’m sorry I can’t tell you about some out of the way cool club or restaurant, but I haven’t had a life in awhile… ---

If so, Email your number over. Jim ---

Well so far I have walked all over Chicago, about 15-20 miles over 2 days. Good exercise and I saw more than most visitor do. I did the Sears Tower and I went to todays WhiteSox Game. By dumb luck, I was sitting next to another Yankee Fan. ---

Heh. I hadn’t even checked this when I called just now. Just in case you didn’t get it on caller ID, and because I think I forgot to e-mail it, I’ll send you my cell number. And that is the best way to see a lot of the city, on foot. ---
