A friend of mine says it's like going to a singles bar for dinner. :) >> PS. ... Thanks. >> How about the Lobby at the Pennisula? 2610 N. Cannon Drive Chicago IL 60614. 36 Hours in Chicago. ALL cities have their ups and downs, but Chicago has been on the rise by playing to its strengths, adding parks, architectural crowd pleasers and public art. Much of this has happened on the watch of Mayor , who, after 21 years in office, announced this month that he would be stepping down.
How will the city fare without him?
