If you were in Normal... leave...?

Before my friends would have the chance to get in their cars and drive here, I would try to convince them to choose Chicago instead. Although Normal is a cute college town, and if they are looking for many fun things to do, I believe Chicago would be a better place to visit. There is the Sears Tower to visit, which has an amazing view from the top. Also, there are many different restaurants to eat at. I would recommend them trying Ed Debevics. It is a cute little burger place and they have the servers dress up as if they are from the 60’s or 70’s and kind of have an attitude towards you as the customers. After grabbing some lunch, Chicago has some great shopping! I would suggest them visiting State street and Michigan Avenue. They are both great streets with plenty of stores to browse, Forever 21 being one of my favorites! Not only are those two streets filled with many shopping possibilities, there is also a mall called Water Tower that is I believe around 7 stories high! It has every store you can imagine located inside. If you are looking for a place to spend your money, Water Tower is one good place to get the job done! If the day is nice out, I would also suggest making a quick stop at the beach, North Ave. beach to be specific. I would of course advise you guys to go on a weekday because weekends the beaches downtown are quite packed! Also, I would advise going on a day where it is decently warm, not extremely hot otherwise you may be miserable from the hot sand and sun burn you may find on your body later on in the day. Ouch…
Let’s say you went to Chicago during a season that is not as warm, like Fall, I would suggest taking the ghost tour. There are many haunted places in Chicago and you can be taken around to see them and here the history behind each location. If you a person who does not like scary things, I would advise you to skip out on this adventure! All of the above activities are very fun to try. Chicago has a variety of things to do for every type of personality!
