    I miss my hometown. I had my prom at Navy Pier way before it was redesigned as an entertainment area. Glad to see they are allowing kayaking on the Chicago River. It wasn't safe for that kind of recreation when I was growing up. It was still too polluted.

      Thin crush pizzas are the best imo. In Europe, middle & low-income families prefer deep dish & spaghetti because those foods help them feel full longer.

      @MarkandDonna  7 місяців тому +1

      We just walked everywhere. It helped staying at a hotel in a central location. We stayed at citizen M which was close to both the Riverwalk and millennium park. We still ended up waking roughly 10 miles a day though, but using rideshares could definitely help. Hope you have a great time!

      That's a tough choice. Both are great options, but I think I'd have to go with NYC. We haven't been to NY in about 5 years, (long before we were doing UA-cam), but we plan to visit next year to make a NYC video as well

      honestly I'm not sure I can best answer this. we were only here a few days in early summer, so I'm not sure how it is the rest of the year. I know the winters get very cold though so unless you want to deal with snow you may want to avoid the colder months
