Like any big city, we do have our share of bad people. Be safe. Men, keep your wallet in your breast pocket. Ladies, mind your purse.

One of the most popular destinations for before or after a Cubs game is El Jardin Fiesta Cantina Bar (it may become Club Eden on the weekends). They are known for their strong margaritas which are reportedly made with grain alcohol. I have known many people who have been sent home incoherent in a cab. Beware!!!!

Most of the neighborhoods (gold coast, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, etc) have designated their sidestreets for residential parking. This means at certain times of day (sometimes all day), street parking is only for cars with residential permits. If you are visiting a friend in a particular neighborhood, they can get you a day pass to put in the right side of your car windshield. The pass MUST be filled out correctly and in pen- I know people who have gotten tickets for it not being filled out completely. Most of the time you can park on a major street the borders the neighborhood (i.e. Clark, Division, Fullerton) but you may have to pay for a meter. Also, be careful for signs that prohibit parking on these streets when the snow if over 2 inches or during rush hour.
