rvwsnd, you make me homesick.
 
And you didn't even touch on food! Chicago is a fantastic place to put on the feedbag!

You are welcome.
 
PS: If you have time, check out some of the non-gay centric venues Chicago has to offer. Millennium Park downtown is not to be missed. The Cloudgate sculpture is breathtaking as are the gardens, which might not be in bloom when you visit given that Chicago has distinct seasons and Autumn is upon us. A stroll down Michigan Avenue is always fun and the Chicago River architectural tours are great ways to relax and sightsee. Try to grab a cocktail at the bar at the top of the John Hancock building. For the price of a drink you can get a 360 view of Chicago and Lake Michigan from the 94th floor. The drinks are a bit overpriced, but they are less expensive than the observatory a few floors up. IMO, the view from the Hancock is superior to that of the Willis (Sears) Tower Skydeck. I also recommend visiting the Art Institute's Modern Wing and walking around the Loop to soak in the architecture and the city's character. Lastly, (well not lastly, as there are dozens of things to do) a great way to see the North Side is from a Brown Line 'L' train. You can catch it on the Loop 'L' and ride it up to Belmont (it goes further, but Belmont is one of Boystown's main streets). Some great vistas of great architecture.

At this moment...
Lena Horne and Etta James, with a splattering of Billy Holiday and the 'Platters'...
suffering from nostalgia as of late. "Above all will let me, walk in the sun once more"
 

 
Dedicated to Ms. "T"...thinking about you today.
