esppp when youāre getting carted around by friends or family and essppp when youāre also determining the destination
iām sort of terrified of driving in chicago so unfortunately ive been here two years and have only rly seen the city,,, which is wonderful but i am desperate to go hiking somewhere, visit a flea market, or like some hole-in-the wall diner somewhere remote. i think itās important to get a sense of ur location in context and i really miss the ability to take a little day trip on a whim!
wish there were like a senior citizen day trip club for all the carless chicago ppl who have ever typed āteakā in the facebook marketplace search bar hahaha
posting a photo from my jaunt to holyland usa from the era when i rented zipcars a lot in college

Thereās so much to do and so many hidden gems it really depends on your vibe! Where are you staying?
Kingston Mines is a blues club thatās been around forever- they have live music, food, and drinks.
Chicago does street fests so well and theyāre what I think of when I think of summer. Thereās something every weekend basically.
Millenium Park also does a free concert series. Itās great to picnic and listen to great music. A lot of well known artists do it.
We have beaches!!!! You probably wonāt have a bike but if you doā¦ bike up to a beach.
The river architecture tour is so cool, I loved it even as a person who has been living here for 15 years.
In the summer itās really easy to stumble upon stuff, which is what I love about summer in the city. Thereās also a dive bar on basically every street so if youāre looking for a chill place to have a beer, those are easy to find.

was there for 3 days to see a friend, and I loved the sites and the hospitality I received. I was trying to find my hotel and an older man saw me confused and he offered to walk me to the street where my hotel was. I was surprised, but thankful. Also public transportation was so accessible there.
Iām hoping to see my friend again this year, and i hope to do more there. Plus i was not able to see the whole art museum
