CHICAGO,IL

the sunshine is directly shining on the mid-west region (watch that summer corn crop grow)

although, I’m currently (and eternally) accepting all recommendations for alternative “fly over states” local gems and underrated hot spots… this one is dedicated to the birthplace of mail order retailing (sears and montgomery ward) and deep dish pizza

enjoy a local’s guide of chicago’s exceptional treasures

dedicated to all of the visiting freelancers or creative corporate travelers, out there!
