Getting Spring like weather and fuck me am I excited for the summer.
Chicago summers are literally magic. I would rather be here than anywhere in the world come June.

I posted this in the NYC thread but I’ll post it here because it’s pertinent...
Summertime CHI is the real deal. My buddy got a blumpkin last summer out in an alley in River North.

West Loop is the new hot spot. Its kind of like a brooklyn/tech vibe since Google Opened up. There's a great happy hour at Parlor Pizza. There are a few other bars on West Fulton Market street, there's a cobble stone street with Au Cheval, there are some lounges, an arcade bar, etc.
River North has some good bars. Hubbard has two different bar areas, about a block or two apart. One is more bro-centric with places like El Jefe, etc. The other one a little futher is probably better for girls. Places like Celeste, Joy Division, etc.
I heard Tao is great, I didn't get a chance to go there though.

I miss day gaming in downtown, that was the best.
Just people flooding through the magnificent mile like fish in the ocean.
So sad to hear that Sound-bar had some gunshots fired and one of the bouncer died or something, it was my favorite spot. I am sure it will reopen or already reopened and is in full operation mode..

I have relatives in the Chicago suburbs and I think the burbs out there are a depressing wasteland of endless mini-malls, personally. And I'm just an occasional visitor.
I totally get why people who live in the city can be snobby, the burbs are truly the Bridge and Tunnel crowd.

I remember I was in a burb about 45 to an hour away from Chicago and me and my brother got bored so decided to go to Chicago. Ended up a train with a bunch of the B&T crowd. Partying, drinking, etc., I mean it was fun and all, but I can see why people in the city frown upon the weekend warrior types who come into town on the train to party then leave.

It’s been unseasonably cold this spring, even by Chicago standards. The average high on May 10th in Chi historically is 68 yet it was only 51 today. Just went out to do daygame and it was 48. Only was able to talk to one attractive girl. Mostly just families on vacation walking around.

Avid daygamer here. Always downtown. Feel free to PM me if you’re looking to wing and terrorize some booty in the Windy City this summer!
