My wife and daughter and I spent 4 days in Chicago. This book served as a helpful guide for things to do and see during our brief stay. Having gone to high school (Naperville) and college (U Of I) in the State it was somewhat of a Homecoming. I am pleased to have this book on our coffee table for both reference and memories.

Great photos with just enough description to promote each location.

Interesting overview of a really cool city. The parts of the city the book covered were well done. Unfortunately I think there are some other great areas of the city that are not covered.
