Haven't been to Chicago since I was a kid. Comming up on the week of the 17th for vacation. Going to be staying in Schaumburg. Any ideas on fun stuff to do? Know any good bars with live rock bands?

I work in schaumburg....not too much there.

I live in the south loop and worked at a couple bars/clubs so I know what's up.

First, there's much more to do here than just nightlife.

Go to
John hancock, Sear tower for a view.
Navy pier for a cool boat ride or skyscraper tour.
Go down Michigan Ave for some cool clothes.
Check out china town-good food and cool souveineers (?)

Check out the field muesuem and science and industry and art institute and mca

Get on a train in the loop and check out the cool buildings.

Then when it's time to party
Division st-bootleggers, mothers, legroom etc.

Good live band bar-joes on weed st (worked there for a year) lot of cool cover bands and strip joint on next block.

There are so many thing to see in downtown chicago and can walk everywhere here.

Alot of great restarants

Let us know how it goes and try to be open to new things.

Also, sorry about the spelling-pubic schooling.
