I was born and raised in Chicago and love going back to visit.
We're spending Friday downtown and likely will be going to the BlackHawks/Oilers game>>wearing our Sioux gear and cheering for Greene and Bochenski. Yeah, I know they're on different teams.
Last time I was at the United Center (or as it's called, the house that Michael built), I drove and didn't have a problem with parking but admit that was about 7/8 yrs ago.
We're staying at the Hampton Inn by the airport.
