Helpful tips January 1, 2008
We live in the NW burbs but ride the train in a few times a year for museums, millenium park or a play. I bought it for info on public transporation but there is great information on hotels, restaurants, events etc. Helpful tips that will save you money and guide you in the right direction.
 Hard to understand October 30, 2007
I really think this book is valuable, and I heard so many great things about it before hand, I guess I expected something a little different. The good thing about this book is that it does have valuable information in it. Unfortunately, the system only uses a general icon to show you the information. This creates a problem when you want to actually go the bank, restaurant, or whatever because you can't tell which icon represents which location you want to go to. I wish they had used a number or letter system along with the icons.
Also, the binding on the book fell to pieces immediately. Cheap glue?

Tourists need to see the Not For Tourists Guide to Chicago September 20, 2007
I'm a tourist, but I liked the Not For Tourists Guide to Chicago. The format makes it easy to use. The first part is a series of neighborhood maps. There's a map showing locations of mundane services (like banking) with a listing on the facing page. Flip the page and you find another map of the neighborhood you just viewed, but it shows entertainment, restaurants, etc. The second part of the book is a series of topical articles (parks, airports, etc.) The concisely expressed opinions and loads of reference material make it very handy.
 Disappointed--it's old! September 16, 2007

What a disappointment! It was listed as the most recent book, yet when my daughter began her term at UIC (U of I at Chicago) they were using the 2008 book! Boo hoo!
