My Stay in Chicago

[Justawannabe]

Okay.... having re-read my earlier post I realize my internet skills are rusty, I did not mean riding... I ment to say driving. Sigh...

Seriously, one of the regulars on he board and few friends need a ride to someplace you wouldn't mind going to anyway? Maybe a couple places, sure, just adds a few minutes or so to the ride home, and in exchange you get to meet the someone and a couple others. Not a bad deal...

Maybe I just have more time on my hands than most, or like helping folks out more...

I was actually supposed to go to Pride in Chicago this year, but had to cancel my trip last minute. I have a good butch queen friend who lives off of Halstead. It would of been fun to see some of the other girls. I go out there a few times a year and might go sometime in August, its a great city.

If you were by O'Hare.... probably not far from where my family lives and I am now... why would they give you the directions they did. UIC-Halstead is way the heck away from there? :-/ OTOH. CTA people can give some shitty advice sometimes. "Redlines over capacity...The number 77 bus to the blue line is your best bet..." B.S. I heard after the Parade.

Anyway.

How much longer are you going to be in town?

You could use someone like myself, who REALY knows this city. Although I have lived in many cities around the world, I was born and raised in Chicago - it is a great city and I call it home. So many better places to shop than Woodfield Mall - it is filled with vanilla suburbanites and the dull things they like. There are so many unique boutiques in the city to find "one of a kind" items of all sorts. Moreover, there are world class restaurants all over the city - why eat the fodder for the masses that you can get in DesMoines or Peoria for that matter. Also, one can enjoy discovering cutting edge, homegrown musical talents; numerous art galleries; the best ganga east of Cali; and neighborhoods that will make you feel as though you have left North America to visit some far off exotic land. Finally, there are clubs besides Berlin, where your company would be appreciated - places where you could meet interesting, unique, eccentric, cultural and artistic people. There is so much more to Chicago than pizza, Navy Pier and mall shopping. Next time you plan to visit this fair city, hit me up and I will show you a Chicago not many people have appreciated - you will leave feeling enriched and satisfied. Furthermore, if you know what you are doing, you can eat, shop and party like a queen at the price a pauper could afford.

I have to agree w/ Sean, I think it would have been worth driving you around town for a couple hours Kelly. And since I live out in the NW subs, I would have no problem getting you out to the Woodfield Mall.

Im sure any chicago guy, including myself, would have been happy to show u around/drive ya somehwere! Ask an ye shall recieve Kelly!

Awe thank you all. I really did have a lovely time.

We partied in boyztown on Saturday at Hydrate and danced with some gay pornstars who were hilarious.

Went to Roscoes which was amusing.

We did go to Woodfield Mall, there was probably one store I really liked which was Charlotte Ruths I bought a few shirts from there. And we ate at the Cheesecake Factory there. It was good, but wow you guys made Chicago sound more interesting.

I had so many problems navigating around. Our hotel sucked at directions like Brenda said. I had my laptop on me but no printer so I really didn't feel like writing down the directions lol

But I will be back to explore the city some more. :P

[BrendaQG]

So you are leaving w/o going to the taste? Please say it ain't so. It's like going to Rio around Carnival time and not seeing the festivities.

[MrsKellyPierce]

Yes I am sorry lol

I've missed out on a lot of chicago, even though I've lived in the area (within an hour drive) for eighteen years. Lots of cool stuff, but you have to hit the plays, shows, etc. to really get the good stuff.

Shopping wise we're not that different than everywhere else, especially in the malls, we do have a few hidden fun stops, but those change regularly... Belmont/Halstead area still has a few fun spots (within a few blocks give or take.

As a sheer party city we're probably only top ten for th US by a hair... place to live and explore... top five maybe.
