How are you getting bored in Chicago??? I love this city! Its one thing if you're staying out next to ORD or on the southside at MDW, but you're right downtown. I live ten minutes north of downtown, and there's a helluva lot of different bars resturants around here. I'd bargain to say that being in Chicago during the summer is the best place to be in the US! I've lived here for 7 years, and never once have i been bored!
