[jackpotcattle]

So I am headed to Chicago on thursday and going to wrigley to watch the twins/cubs series. Being a chicago virgin, is there anything that I must do while I am there?

A knife or a gun, Ha!!! You better hire Chuck Norris for the day!!!  Just kidding! Chicago is like any other town it has its bad parts and good parts, but its bad parts are really bad. We went there about ten years back(wrigley) and it really wasnt that bad of a neighborhood. Water Tower(or whatever the name for it now is) is pretty neat to see. But if you dont know your way around I would probaly keep the trip simple. The best thing to do is just relax, enjoy your game and watch out for Chuck Norris!!!

Nothing you must do except get out safe.

I went a couple years ago.  Not that bad for a big city.  Find a good pizza placw.  Chicago pizza is great.  Their downtown area is pretty neat.  Go to the natural history museum also.  One of the best.

I've been to a bunch of Cubs games the past couple of years.  The only thing I would say to watch out for is the the bandwagon fans.  You can tell these poeple by their ability to be the most rude and inconsiderate people you have ever met.  My family is split between cardinal and cub fans and we all agree that Wrigley is becoming very family unfriendly.

I worked in Chicago for several months. If you want to try some great Chicago Deep Dish Style Pizza, I recommend Gino's pizza. Best I have ever had. Giordano's is good too.  There is a lot of cool stuff along Michigan Avenue. I never had an issue with crime, but I stayed in the nicer areas too. Have fun. You will love Wrigley field

Best Pizza in the world!!! They've got like a 3 inch deep crust, with a solid layer of sausage at the bottom, solid layer or cheese next, and a solid layer of sauce on top. Thats how we order ours when we're there, Its out of this world  <alien> awesome!!!
