RTP-area local music and culture

[thegav AT hotmail.com]

Hello, all. I am headed to Chicago for a weekend in August. Staying 2
nights, catching a Cubs game, maybe doing some kinda architecture
tour. Other than that, I am largely ignorant. Does anyone with vast
Chicago experience have any advice for a curious traveler on the best
neighborhoods to walk, meals to eat, etc? Anything would be much
appreciated.

So that this is not off-topic, I remember once when Red Star Belgrade
moved there. To Chicago. And I once saw a band from Chicago play in
Chapel Hill. The Coctails. And I saw that weird Wilco show at the Dook
quad. And one time in New York I sang a not-very-touching duet with a
large schizophrenic man/songwriter from Chicago who is, I think, now
deceased.

Cheers,
GAVIN
