In the summer? A long weekend is sufficient. 1) Baseball game of your choice + drinking, 2) beach day + grant park or millennium park, 3) museum of choice, street festival, architecture stuff

If you have never been to Chicago, maybe a weekend max. Zero days if you have.

3-4 days if you want to checkout a few places in suburbs like botanic garden, etc.

Depends on what you’re doing. But to have the best possible experience in the summer months, I would recommend five days at least.

Please don’t stay in Schaumburg OP lol, that’s a solid 1+ hour drive into the city. It’s a boring airport suburb, no reason to go there unless you have family there or something

3 days is probably good, but longer isn’t bad either. There’s so much to do in Chicago

Thank you all!!

Would august be too hot to go?

August is boiling and humid. I recommend September.

At least 3, since the first and last days will involve some type of ORD delay/nightmare

HALP. Just discovered a bracelet my ex gave me. We were together for a year, five years ago. I think I remember it being her grandma’s or of some significance. Things did not end well. Is it the better move to donate it and move on, or offer her the chance to ship it back? I do not want drama or to restart anything, just to be kind.

At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.
