as i walked around Chicago, i noticed that it was not very bike-friendly like Philly, but it was quite pedestrian friendly....every road construction area that hindered people walking on the sidewalk has these barricades that sectioned off part of the street so people can walk in safety, and not having to cross the street to the other side like Philly...not only that, it was also handicap friendly...EVERY one of those sectioned off places i saw had a ramp! pretty amazing.
Monica and i walked from the West Loop to Grant Park to do the Taste of Chicago, which is this annual festival that food/restaurant vendors from the city sample their food...you buy tickets ($8 for 12 tickets), and each booth have tasting portions for about 4 tickets
each....there were also free concerts in the evening...i saw the Counting Crows, with an opening band, Augustana. it was a hot day, but with good food and free music, it was a good day.
