Have you been to Chicago? What did you do? What would you want to do? What did we miss?

This list is amazing!!! As a fellow Chicagoan I am proud to say this is LEGITTTTT!!! Personally I have almost done everything on this list, but I should really make it a goal to do it all! Great for people who live in the city and don't know what's good to do. Highlights are DEEP DISH and ITALIAN BEEF! Clearly all about the food!

@MagellanandGreyhound 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes the food is very important. Best to overstuff yourself while you do these things! 😆

Chicago is such a fun city, and sadly I haven’t been back in years! Thanks for sharing so many awesome tips! I use to live in Southern Illinois and have only been there a few times.

Hopefully you get back soon. We are usually usually once a year at minimum. It really is a fun city.

Yes indeed, Chicago, the windy city. Stopped in once, but have driven through many times... So great to see so many lovely places to fill in many days of adventuring! Thanks for sharing your list. Hope you are both keeping well and enjoying a wonderful week! Bruce and Otis

Wow, thank you! We're a small channel, but we try our best! Still so much to learn though. Wisconsin is on our list. We've been to Kenosha and Madison (to buy curds and other cheese goodies 😂), but want to visit more and for longer.

Y'all crammed a TON of stuff into this one! Never knew Chicago had so much to see & do. Last time I flew in there was about 10 years ago & it was like -40°, snow piled up everywhere. All I saw was the airport, my hotel & the conference room.😜

We go usually at least once a year. It's so much fun. Plus we have two friends there. But man, yeah, when it snows there, it is pummeling, relentless and frigid. Next video will be 500 things to do in NYC. Kidding, for now ...

Thank you again! I'm sure we could have made a top 100 list to be honest. It really is a great city, and we always try to do different stuff, even though the stuff we've done is still fun to do again!

Sorry Guys.. I couldn’t join for the premier as I was down with body ache as I took my second dose of vaccine yesterday. Anyways, it’s really helpful to organize my trip to Chicago this October. I was in Chicago couple of years back and I couldn’t see much at that time! Amazing list of things to do! It’s most diversified city. It has things to do for everyone! Nice video! 😊👍👍👍

@MagellanandGreyhound 3 жыл бұрын

No worries Suri. We have tried figuring out different days and times. We aren't sure when they are exactly good for anybody. We were almost late for it too! That said, it really is an amazing city. Feel better! Rest and hydrate!

@SorgiStories 3 жыл бұрын

15 down. 10 to go. Also check out the Museum of Science & Industry and the DuSable Museum. Wow. The view from the 94th floor of the Hancock is even better than the Sears, because you can get more of the skyline in one view. Just insane. Malnati’s totally wins deep dish, too. And +1 on cheese curds!

@MagellanandGreyhound 3 жыл бұрын

That museum and the view atop Hancock is on our list! We go at least once a year to Chicago. I don’t remember which deep dish we liked more, but they were definitely tasty. Cheese curds!

Googling some of these options, the kayaking tours seem cool (found them looking at boats), a pity they probably won't be open in October when I go. Still some nice ideas.

@MagellanandGreyhound Жыл бұрын

Definitely don’t count yourself out yet! I’d contact the outfitters. October is still doable. It will obviously depend on how cold it’s gotten by then, but I’ve been to Chicago in mid November and it was in the 70s still.

Wow, Chicago looks amazing. I love the high rises and the wonder wheel 😁 There is so much to do, that is great. We love visiting places when there's a lot to do. We try to do it all lol. How long do you recommend staying? Is the food expense? Did you stay at a hotel or Airbnb? Are accommodations expensive?

@MagellanandGreyhound 3 жыл бұрын

If you pack each day with stuff, in a four day weekend you can get a lot done. A week is a good length though. Food is slightly cheaper than NY. We did Airbnb and stayed with friends. Your best bet is to find something out of the loop (downtown) but near the L to get there easily. We stayed along the red line north of downtown. Downtown hotels are expensive!

You shouldn’t go to most cities for that reason alone. Houston, Nashville, Tampa, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Dallas, Kansas City, Austin, Memphis, are the worst. Hell, Texas is swarming these days. The list is endless. Gotta go to the strongholds in California and Arizona. Bakersfield, Fresno, Mesa, Phoenix. Fine desert air and no bull.
