ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Life Going to Chicago. What do I need to do? Avoid?

Things to avoid:

1. Leaving the Grateful Dead concert at Soldier Field so ripped up on hallucinogens that you get lost.

2. Being so lost that you pull off the interstate and resort to getting directions from one of those guys that tries to clean your windshield with newspaper and god-knows-what at a stoplight.

3. Actually following that guy's directions into a part of town that is so bad you get pulled over by the police for being "a bunch of white kids from Iowa that are about to get murdered for being in the wrong place in too nice of a car".

Also...

4. Not really knowing where the museum of science and industry is other than "south I think" so taking the El so deep into southern Chicago that a place like Cabrini Green looks like a nice place to wait for a cab that may never arrive.
