One of my favorite things about the city of Chicago is the large number of street festivals, block parties, etc., that take place all summer long. If you can’t find something to do on a weekend here, you’re probably just not looking hard enough.

A note to the city of Chicago: I don’t care what kind of ridiculous budget cuts you have to make in the future. Please never, ever let go of Michael Orlove. This guy has done a whole lot to energize downtown Chicago with music of all genres. And best of all, it’s free.
