thanks for the links and advice... good to know people are "making it" in chicago as well.
i have not been in the city long since escaping from detroit, but i have also yet to find a great bar. great food is not hard to find, but i have been to some pretty lame bars.

Studder, you should try the Chicago Double Header later this year where you catch a day game at Wrigley and then a nite game at Comiskey.
I've never done it myself, but it's on my "Things to do before I die" list.
Also, I think I'm going to Chicago one weekend for a Buccos game , I'll let you know!

What part of town do you live in? I think we're due to have a Chicago get together soon, or, er, for the first time.

Everytime someone says "Chicago" I can't help but think of Oprah and Sufjan Stevens (or whatever his name is) and it makes me want to hurt myself...
