Chicago in Summer: Things To Do
Ask any Chicago denizen what the worst thing about living in Chicago is and they’ll tell you flat out: “The winter.” True, Chicago does get mighty cold sometimes, and those months of chilly gray don’t do wonders for your tan, but that just means that when it’s summertime, it’s all the better. Look to Chicago in the summer to see the best of not only Chicago, but the best of its residents as well. Here are a couple things to do if you’re looking to explore Chicago in the summertime.

Nightlife in Chicago
Stepping into a big city’s nightlife is like being a child in a candy store. You’ve never seen so many choices of colors, flavors, styles, and smells, and at first it’s a bit intimidating. Chicago is a big city with a healthy foodie scene, as well as some great blues and jazz clubs. Additionally, there’s the usual gamut of youthful vigor that creates fun karaoke spots and bars with theme nights in just about every Chicago neighborhood. The big Q is – where do you want to go?

Oh, St. Patrick’s Day. How you mesmerize me. Always a fun bacchanalian extravaganza, St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago is the spring celebration you’ve been waiting for.

Skipping Lines at the Willis Tower
You might have heard about the Willis Tower. Repeatedly touted as “a must” for both visitors and residents, the views from high atop the 110 story building is truly a magnificent experience with vantage points into not one or two, but four (4!) states. Couple this with a glass ledge allowing you to walk out into the rarefied air (and thus giving you the feeling that you’re suspended oh-so precariously over the city of Chicago below) and you’ve got quite the tourist draw. The Willis Tower’s observation deck, also known as Skydeck, draws quite the line. Skipping these long lines is a trick within itself, but it can be done. After all, who wouldn’t want to just pop into the tallest building in the western hemisphere?

It’s no wonder than most tourists visit from May to October. But those visitors who do come during the winter months will find that, despite the cold and snow, there’s still plenty to see and do—and plenty of ways to stay warm.
