If you'd like to meet another Arfcom gal, let me know. I work on the west side of O'Hare, so I'm not far from Rosemont.

museum of science and industry is a must see! Thanks, looks fantastic. If it's anything like the museums in DC, I'll need a couple of trips to see everything in there. |

Sounds like a call for an arfcom dinner. One of the famous all talk no shoot endulgences in food and alcohol. As much as the good people of Illinois try to avoid the area you're describing, I'm sure the hive could bear it.
I should mention I'm single, and still restrained myself from pouncing on the opportunity to play guide/chauffer/bodyguard. So proud of myself |

Marie's right--not downtown--too much traffic and I try to pay the thirty-some dollars for parking there only if I'm spending the day. |

 Pequods for the pizza in Chicago. I suggest one thin and one deep dish!   Portillos for a combo sammich dipped in gravy and smothered in hot peppers. for dessert I suggest the chocolate cake shake! aka death by chocolate! |

If you are in Rosemont, the CTA Blue line will get you downtown.
I work in the west loop. I know there are a few others who work downtown. Perhaps there could be a downtown HTF meet up. |

I checked out the Captial Grille near there and the Something Tavern or Tavern Something the last time I was in town. Both were great. What's with the indoor skydiving right there? Is that worth doing? |

I (and my wife possibly) could be up for a HTF meet for some beers and BS if enough people are interested. |

Don't forget the Field Museum. If you don't like it, Shedd is right there too.

I am right outside rosemont but not sure how much my wife would like me showing gals around.
Not much to do if you ask me. Leave Illinois as quickly as possible. For what it is worth I no longer visit the rosemont amusement area since rosemont has declared that entire area GFZ, to spite the law. Not that I would carry there since it's all bars anyways, but I prefer to vote with my dollars. I'll take my drinking money elsewhere and encourage any gun loving individual to do the same. |

The indoor diving is fun, but real skydiving is much better.

However, the other plunge, well I've done that but I want to keep it PG-13.
