 HOOSIERS BEWARE! Indiana not included here! July 4, 2007
Hoosiers beware! I bought this book and then realized that it doesn't have a section on what to do in Indiana. I live in Indiana, and thought (rightly so, of course) that it is located along one of the Great Lakes, and therefore would rate a mention. What were the author's thinking? That's like writing a tour guide to Europe and leaving Italy out. You'd feel robbed, right?
That said, I do look into the book when we plan to travel to Illinois, BUT what a misleading title! Now I'm going to try some other guide like Fodor's or Frommer's - people who really understand geography... and don't try to mislead people with their titles! ARGH!
 A great gift for a family new to the area! May 30, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've lived in the Chicago area for 20 years, and there were a few things in here that I didn't know about, such as the American Girls Shop/ play in Chicago. But by and large, most of the Chicago area stuff I knew about. Where it really comes in handy is that many of the areas featured are within a few hours drive. Great if you're going to visit family and need something for the kids. We found all kinds of neat stuff about one of our favorite vacation spots in Door County, Wisconsin that we otherwise would have missed. One area that could stand to be improved - they have Chicago, then Northwestern Illinois (Galena etc). What about the 'burbs? There's a few little things here and there, but otherwise the whole Chicagoland area outside of the city limits is missed. I would also like to see more on restaurants. Chicago has a TON of restaurants,including the upscale but very cool Chicago Firehouse (actually built into a firehouse, complete with pole - saw Mayor Daley there!) and there are only 7 mentioned. All in all though, a good buy, and as I said, would make a great gift for a family with kids new to the area.
