People who live in the city proper in #Chicago reaalllly underestimate how much fun and how much good trouble you can get in in the near #Chicagland suburbs. I have never had a problem with either of those things. If you tell me that you can’t find good food, good cocktails or good entertainment - or even good places open late, you are not trying hard enough or honesty just have a bad attitude. Because I go to both.

Some Auntie Lesley Chicago suburb recommendations:
