    • We only went to Navy Pier to catch a good glimpse of the airshow that was going on. We had lunch at one of the restaurants there and sure enough, the planes went right over us - until the whole thing was cancelled due to a part falling off one of them!

    The place reminded me of Faneuil Hall in Boston. Tourists flock to it, and it's full of chain restaurants, junk food and tacky sourvenirs. I have no use for this kind of place, but you've got to check it out at least once, huh?

    At Least Do This: Check out the skyline view it offers.
    Alternative: In Chicago, I'm sure there are a hundred alternatives!

     I live in Boston, too, and the train goes to the airport. It's on the blue line.    		spgood301 Wed Jun 21, 2006 13:43 UTC

     I loved the your Chicago page, I've been there 3 times, but all were business trips and I never left the hotel. Nice to see that there is more to Chicago than confrence rooms and elevators.    		TheWanderingCamel Sat Apr 1, 2006 10:31 UTC
