Yes, thank you for the obvious. But I was wondering if there were any Freepers in that area that might have some insight. It always helps when the information is from similarly minded people.
The Internet can only be a basic guide about a given area. There is nothing like the expertise of residents who have lived there to tell you what it's really like. I think that's what the poster was looking for.
I just spent a week in Chicago area and thanks to my family who live in the area, they gave me some great restaurants to go to and some things to do around the city that did not come up for me in prior Internet searches or sites like Yelp, TravelAdvisor, etc.

Why be such a snot? A self congratulatory press release is not the same as hearing from people with personal experience.
Surely you are not that dense. The poster is asking for info in order to LIVE there, not what is there to do for a fun visit. I would want to be given warnings on what to avoid from FRiends 'in the know'.
Back to your seat please.
