What should I visit in Chicago?
I have an early meeting at the Spherion building downtown, which should be over by noon; but my flight home doesn't leave O'Hare until 6 pm. I figure that gives me until 4 pm (an hour back to O'Hare on the CTA, and I have to be at the airport an hour before the flight departs) to do something in Chicago. I've never been there, but I don't want to do really touristy stuff. If you know of some great architecture or gardens or something (I'm a photographer) that would really help me out. Thanks!

- is there snow there? If yes then go photograph people kgive each other frostbites by snowball fighting. I have never been to Chicago.
- you could check out navy pier,john hancock observatory or the sears tower. or go shopping on state street or michigan avenue or you could find a nice bar to sip some drinks in.
- BuddieGuys BluesBar & Harry Careys
- I don't know that building, you should supply the cross streets. You could just walk around downtown looking at the buildings. The Madnonock building, Carson Pirie Scott, I'm sure there is a list of famous architectural buildings somewhere. The Art Institute is downtown,and next to it is the new Millennium Park, which you would enjoy.
- I also LOVE taking photos, especially of architecture. You might just want to walk around downtown or near the lake. I'd definitely check out Millenium Park or the museums. Your choices are almost endless.
- look for millenium park. it's absolutely beautiful, even when it's a little colder out. and it's not too far from the lake, which is a must if you're in chicago.
- take the 6 in jeffrey bus to Hyde Park-Start off by having a late breakfast at valois-there are a lot of old mansions-the university of chicago grounds are nice-Hyde Park boasts no fewer than six museums, including the DuSable, the city's only museum of African-American. frank lloyd whites roby house-make sure you walk down woodlawn to like 47th http://www.hydeparksecc.com four hours will give you like three in hyde park 3:30 if you include that breakfast which you shouldn't miss-
- The Baton Show Lounge on Clark Street has the best female impersonators in the World.....
