    Excellent video! As a lifelong Chicagoan, I'd also recommend taking the El (CTA elevated train) to one of the many neighborhoods outside downtown- Logan Square, Ravenswood, Humboldt Park, Pilsen, Bronzeville- to explore their personality. Excellent choices for murals, live music, and delicious local food!

Heck, I went a couple weeks ago and walked around the Loop at night till about 6am and nothing happened. I of course did have company with me but as long as ya stay away from the south side of the city, and stick around either downtown or the north side you will be fine.
