So we stayed in Naperville for the cheaper hotels and the train ( I hate driving in big cities when walking works much better)
and we got there in time for the 330 train, which got canceled. So we explored naperville which is pretty cool. it’s like a college downtown, except for families instead of college kids. Pretty nice place. We got into chicago at 500 and headed for the red line which we took to wicker park area. Wicker Park is where all the cool punk clubs are and its home to tons of little boutiques and resturants. We hit Reckless Records which is a pretty great record store and Quimbys, the best bookstore Ive ever seen for alternative comics, and zines. Pretty neato place, although at the time all i was looking for was Civil War 2, but the place doesnt carry superhero books. oh well I guess they are readily available elsewhere. By the time we headed back we caught the 1030 train which got us into naperville at 1130, hit the hotel and were asleep pretty quickly. fun fun fun.
Chicago day one!
