Chicago's a good city to go out and about in. Wouldn't wanna live there, but it's a nice place to visit.

Yeah, it's okay to visit as long as you stick to the "tourist" areas :) If you park in certain places expect to be besieged by panhandlers as you walk, e.g. in the underpass entrance leading to the Shedd Aquarium. Don't let them stop you to "ask you a favor"--politely but firmly say "No thanks" and keep walking. You may have to dodge some of that while going between places, but once you're inside the main tourist attractions you're pretty safe and it's nice. The Shedd, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Field Museum of Natural History are great. I know they also have a nice art museum I haven't seen yet.

Huh, interesting! Maybe I'll go. Parents are looking for an excuse to get away - they ditch us all the time - but I guess they'd feel guilty about missing my whole 21st birthday - Mom's supposed to be teaching me about wine this summer.

I will say on your behalf that your writing style and Corin's are completely different. And that's possible, but hard, to fake.

Besides you haven't posted nearly as many naked butts as Corin would... sigh, we need him back...
