QUOTE (richee3) With all the Go Pro's coming, we might as well find an epic photoshoot spot to cruise to after hiking. Hi def photoshoot, anyone? I almost bought a Go Pro today just so I could post in this thread and say I was bringing mine too. Honest to god truth, I almost spent the cash just for a single post in this thread. I'd never even use it. ^ Winning. This post has been edited by bloodMoney: Feb 12, 2012 - 11:36 PM -------------------- ~bloodMoney

And I went to Chicago on Saturday and went to Gino's East... We got a medium deep dish pepperoni pizza. It was REALLY good. I wouldn't call it the best pizza I've ever had, but it was good. One cool thing about that place is that you can write on just about anything. -------------------- 2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

If everything plan out right for me. We're planing on spending the night on Friday and Sat night before heading back home. Any nite-light action around the street to be around town. I've been to Chicago area many times. Just for busniess meeting for work. Didn't have any time to explore town. Any suggestion welcome. Thanks

I've only been to Chicago once, just a day trip, so if possible I'd like to go grab some pizza and head out in the morning. If everyone has somewhere to be or needs to get back home, that's understandable, but it's by no means an invite-only trip to the city.
Chris, I know you live in Chicago so you'll be driving into town but for the rest of us, would it be better to park outside the city and take the train in? Being from wayyy down here, I've heard my whole life that that's the best way to get into Chicago, but I've driven downtown and didn't see any issues. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

If you want to park where I work for the day and take the train in, I'm sure my boss would be fine with it. It's about 1/2 block from a train station in Hazel Crest, which is about an hour south of the city proper.

You don't have to worry about anything but yourself then. I take the South Shore train any time I go to the city. -------------------- 2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

I'll drive in the city, but not the damn loop.
That's why both my cars have those crazy ****ing horns by the way. This post has been edited by Bitter: Feb 14, 2012 - 9:48 PM -------------------- |

Bought a new camera for this trip today! It's not a GoPro, but a mini dslr with pretty good quality pictures. I won't be driving the 6gc, but I 'll have a decent setup with my daily. Gosh I need to stop spending my tax money.
Man, Chicago sounds fun. It'll be a weekend experience I won't forget. This post has been edited by ZGear: Feb 14, 2012 - 11:36 PM --------------------  |

At the time when we will be driving into the city, there wont be any traffic save for the cabbies. (insert non-chicagoan fear of "evil scum cabbies" here)
In short, we'll be fine. I you guys want to cruise downtown and eat at a place that is not downtown, we can do that too. Stacy and I have lived in the city our entire lives and know most of the popular Chicago pizza places. Discuss! -------------------- ~bloodMoney
