When I moved from Burbank, Illinois to the north suburbs of Atlanta, I'd be driving around, trying to get my bearings and loudly declaring (to no one) "In Chicago, the streets are laid out in a grid THE WAY GOD INTENDED!"

Those AirBNB are expensive, almost the same or higher than hotels because of that tax apparently…love the channel as I’m learning stuff to d when I visit next month

[SkyyVega]

I love Lincoln park last time I was in Chicago that’s where I stayed and it was such a nice neighborhood. Also really loved boystown

I lived near Chicago most of my life Luis as paying attention to the weather forecast especially during the winter is critical

[marcyjames]

I never hear anything about the South Side and its interesting neighborhoods: Beverly and Morgan Park have such interesting history. And there are so many more: Bridgeport, Canaryville and more. I’d love to see more of my home neighborhoods.

Another great video. I've been watching your video's for a couple of weeks now because I'm planning a trip to Chicago sometime next year. Have you considered doing a video on the best hotels that offer free long term parking for people that want to drive in but use the CTA or walk while in the city?

[FYNNLEY]

Great Video - Wife and two Daughters our heading to Chicago . What hotel you recommend in or near mag mile.

Hello Luis! I discovered your channel recently and liked your videos!

I stayed in the printers row neighborhood at hotel Blake for my first time ever and almost got ran over walking back lol. Other then that nice looking place.

Is it a bad idea to drive around metro Chicago to reach places like Pullman NM, Graceland Cemetery, Unity Temple or the Bahá'í?

Hi Luis - I’m going to Chicago next weekend. Loving your videos! Any suggestions on a fun event for next weekend? Will you be out in the wild?

[carloshernandez-bmhp]

Hi Luis! Lord willing I’ll be in Chicago this May. My daughter is graduating from Navy Boot Camp. It’ll be seven of us going so I thought that renting an SUV was our best option. We’ll be staying near Navy Pier. We want to get to know the city, do site seeing and museums. Do you think we made the right choice of renting the SUV? Also I don’t have a problem with not having ketchup on my hotdog because I don’t like ketchup 👍😂
Lord bless you!

Hey Luis, thanks for a great video - my wife and I want to visit in the late autumn for a week and we wanted to check out some of the small towns on Lake Michigan or maybe a day trip to Michigan - could you recommend either a day tour company or better still a boat that could take us across as we’re not so keen on driving while we’re there? Thanks again, J&M

[janpa]

Hey Luis, love ur videos, very helpfull. I am going to Chicago soon, I will be staying at the Selina hotel. What are some good local friendly bars I can visit near by?
Also, how can I get to Tinley park? Do you recommend getting public transport back to Selina from Tinley around 11pm?

Thanks a bunch. Greetings from Costa Rica
