Well recently I have been able to use the Metra to go to the city center/downtown and walk around, go to the Taste of Chicago, walk Michigan Ave (and a lesser extent, State St) and go to the Sears Tower.
Basically, do you know of any other fun things to do downtown or anywhere in the Chicago Area?
Any info on Dance Clubs? It seems that Rush St. is mainly 21+ so :( for me. Specifically Euro?
Also,
<_< >_>
Anyone have any info on raves and the like?
other stuff, etc please
Blue City in Englewood....you'll have a blast there....
I personally don't like to get involved with activities that are meant for tourists like that Taste of Chicago bullshit. Just meet some people who live there that like to have a good time and have them show you around, or even just cruise around and find stuff do do by yourself.
Blottopia.
Google it.
I'm going next year, wanna come along?

thx for reminding me, LOL at how there were so many Hindus/French/Russians/etc at the Sears Tower. Many Hindus downtown too. Yes I know it's the city center..
I see similar stuff at other parts (the Schamburg Mall), shitloads of Greeks and Russians there.
Just meet some people who live there that like to have a good time and have them show you around, I actually managed to do that somewhat yesterday at the Venetian Show. Some people who lived downtown, college people and their parents, let me have some of their food and drink and talked to them, etc.
or even just cruise around and find stuff do do by yourself.been doing that all month lol :D
It works...it works, I've ran into the Venetian Show that way by simply deciding to go to the Lakefront.
EDIT: lol, 3 replies so damn fast :D

If it's in the Chicago Metro Area next year, I'm sure. If it's in other cities, possible to likely as by then I should have a license and be more free/better off.
Also I received your email.

Will you be 18 by then? I think if you're in college and 18 your parents will have no problem with you going out of state. Yeah it's always in vasa park but it'd be nice to go elsewhere too. :(
Yeah sorry I couldn't reply earlier; as I said it's my spam account.

You're a resident of the Chi and you don't know that The Cabrini's are a no go? Especially for a tourist...

Most likely Morraine Valley, a decent Community College in the suburbs. So I'll have to pay more as I live in the city lol.
A lot of people are going there, shit even the Valedictorian for my class is attending there.
lol my mom was bitching about me thinking about going to Olive-Harvey as it is too "ghetto" or something...apparently. :confused:
Well it probably is being in a majority-black ares of the South Side and the area it's in, Roseland isn't the best; I lived there until third grade and would visit grandparents there until last winter regularly.
