Hello, I'm bill52600, a Chicagoland resident. I'm here to explain what you need to know about Chicago.

1.) Try to stay off the South side, it gets a little rough.

2.) You will see a person at an intersection asking for money every now and then, so ALWAYS lock your doors, and roll up your windows when the time comes. Sometimes, they have a buddy who reaches in and takes your valuables, while you're sympathizing the other guy.

3.) Enjoy OUR lake (screw off, Wisconsin and Michigan), it's actually really cool.

4.) Want to take a break out of the museum to get something to eat? I recommend Pizano's on State Street, a VERY good deep-dish pizza place. Do NOT get some other SUBWAY or MCDONALD'S crap, you can get that anywhere. You can also try out Lou Malnati's, which has various locations.

5.) When parking, hide your valuables from view to prevent theft.

6.) On a highway? Try to not make eye contact with other drivers, it gets a little awkward.

7.) MSI is a VERY cool museum. You'll need to take out BLOXcon time in order to make space for a visit, though; they close around 5:00 PM.

8.) Outdoor seating is always great in Chicago, unless weather and air conditions aren't your friend that day.

Post any questions below.

Racism is about other colors, this thread is a precaution, get over it.

@Bloody;

Especially on the trains...

ADDED NOTE:

Try not to ride CTA elevators, the stench of urine is very high.

Oh god the trains are probably the creepiest things in Chicago

One time some fishy looking short white trash guy was hopping train carts.


He came into mine, reached into his coat and I though he was going to start popping

He pulled out some gum

Life=saved

If it's Amtrak or Metra you're okay, and CTA is only good in the day.

There's a garage. I'm not sure if you'll be able to come back out to get to the entrance, though.

It's underground, and you'll have to go down a ways.

There's usually enough parking, except on busy days.

I would contact the museum tomorrow, since they may have statistics and event info and all of that.
