SiriusFan13 asked:


My friend and I want to move to Chicago, but she is looking for a college or university in the Chicago area (can be in the actual city or in any of the suburbs) that will offer a 2 year associates degree in fashion design. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I’ve been doing some hunting to help her out, but this isn’t my field, so I don’t even know which colleges to be looking at… or what would be good…

Thanks!

Deep dish pizza, Wrigley’s Field and Magnificent Mile shopping immediately say “Chicago” to most people. But while the Windy City is certainly known for those delights, there’s also an incredible world of museums to discover in Chicago.

Traditional art museums and galleries dot all the common tourist areas, making it easy to access culture even while in the city a short time. It’s the very unique museums, however, that really offer Chicago the opportunity to make a mark. After all, it’s not every city that offers an International Museum of Surgery Science!

In fact, Chicago is home to so many museums that visitors will have to plan wisely; there’s simply never enough time in a trip to see them all! The following museums would be considered worthy stops on any itinerary.

Museum of Broadcast Communications:

Conveniently located near many downtown Chicago hotels, the Museum of Broadcast Communications is an ideal stop for the traveler that usually vegs out watching TV in his room. At the MBC, visitors will be able to see the artifacts that were integral parts of a growing television and radio industry, as well as listen to choice t.v. and radio selections from among the museum’s 85,000 hours of programming. Take a peek at the classic costumes and puppets from old shows, or learn something historic by listening to the 125 Top Political Moments. The options certainly beat watching today’s reality t.v. in your luxury Chicago hotel!

Museum of Contemporary Art:

A visitor staying at a downtown Chicago luxury hotel might be more interested in visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art, actually the country’s biggest contemporary museum. Exhibitions, whether in the format of painting, sculpture, video, film, photography or performance, are chosen for their thought-provoking element. Those staying in downtown Chicago hotels on the first Friday of any month have the opportunity to easily enjoy the museums First Friday Happy Hour, complete with music, food and new artist introductions.

Children’s Museum:

For families the Children’s Museum is not to be missed! Playtime and learning are inter-weaved to create an incredibly fun, stimulating educational experience. There’s no need to keep the kids cooped up in a downtown Chicago, IL hotel when they could be having the time of their lives (while learning) here. Visitors throughout the summer will be able to enjoy the newest exhibition, Block Party, which offers a child-size model of various Chicago neighborhood festivals up for the children’s review. Permanent exhibits include Play it Safe to teach about home safety and BIG Backyard, which is set in a garden, along with many other fun and educational interactive displays.

International Museum of Surgical Science:

Any doctors or medical enthusiasts who have traveled to a downtown Chicago will be drawn to the International Museum of Surgical Science, where they’ll find artifacts and exhibits that detail medicine and healing practices from primitive times forward. Exhibits are chock full of detail, and focus on such areas as Pain Management, Nursing Care over time, Medical Imaging Milestones and Polio. In the Polio exhibit, visitors will actually be able to witness the workings of an iron lung.

Chicago History Museum:

History buffs with a wider focus will appreciate the Chicago History Museum’s varied exhibits, with emphasis on Catholicism, music, painting, fashion and more, as it specifically relates to the city. The Sensing Chicago exhibit alone will introduce visitors to the city far better than a guidebook would be able to!

With the variety of museums available in Chicago, there’s one tailored to almost any interest, making it a sure bet that a Chicago visitor should leave having learned something new.

James Belmont asked:


When it comes to residential real estate in Chicago, condominiums are king. Especially in the city’s downtown and North Side neighborhoods. Even with everything that has happened in the U.S. housing market, the Chicago condo industry continues to hold steady with increasing average prices and nonstop development of new condo projects in communities across the city.

It’s a familiar scene – construction crews putting up brand new buildings in vacant lots and gutting older structures to make way for the modern living spaces that Chicago condo buyers have put in demand. Both existing and new construction condo units are selling, but a definite trend towards buying new has swept the city and has really changed the face of the local real estate backdrop. In addition to all the condominiums, lofts and flats built during the boom between 2000 and 2006, Chicago has numerous plans in the works for fresh residential developments that will bring thousands more homes to the market.

Nearly 6,000 new units are expected to be finished by the end of 2008 with delivery on an additional 4,000+ units proposed for next year. This will create a very saturated housing inventory in Chicago, but also puts buyers in a good position to get what they want for a good deal. Many of these forthcoming condominium, townhome and loft projects are in downtown or the surrounding vicinity. And certain parts of the city are being totally revamped with all new high-rises and state-of-the-art architecture, such as the New East Side. This tiny pocket of the Loop (located between the Chicago River, Lake Shore Drive, Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue) is occupied in part by a large-scale residential development called Lakeshore East, which will include 14 residential towers when it is finished in 2010.

Other major contributions to the ever-expanding condominium community in Chicago are the Trump Hotel & Tower and the Chicago Spire. Both of these luxury projects are currently under construction and have inspired worldwide publicity. Donald Trump’s debut in the Windy City is located across the river from the Loop in the trendy River North neighborhood. His 96-story building will house roughly 470 posh residences with price tags ranging from $583,000 (for a 580-square-foot studio) to $9.6 million (for a 6,850-square-foot penthouse). Much of the Trump Tower is already built and the hotel levels are currently in use, but full completion of the condominiums is anticipated for sometime in 2009.

Down closer to Lake Michigan, preparation for the Chicago Spire is underway. Just a block inland from Navy Pier, the Spire is an innovative architectural creation that will bring renewed interest to the Chicago skyline. The blueprint for this spiral-like, 150-story residential building (scheduled for delivery in 2012) has close to 1,200 units with several levels of top-of-the-line communal amenities. Real estate in the Spire is among the highest price per square foot in the city and includes multimillion-dollar penthouses with undisclosed price tags.

Condo prices in the Loop and other areas near the city center have shown appreciation in recent months and while condo sale prices in Chicago are up in general (6% increase from June 2007), it’s the higher-end properties that are really coming out on top. The total number of million-dollar-plus condos/penthouses/townhomes sold during the first two quarters of 2008 outdid the same period last year by over 100 units. The Gold Coast is one of Chicago’s most expensive and exclusive neighborhoods and real estate there is gaining value for both condominiums and single-family homes. The average sale price for attached properties in the Gold Coast is around $620,000 and the average listing price is in the high $800,000s.

The well-being of the entire Chicago condo market is expected to be positively influenced by a shift in values of the American home buyer. There is a new generation of young house hunters who are more inclined towards low maintenance, high-technology urban dwellings – a perfect fit for the city’s many newly constructed properties – than the large suburban homes of their parents’ day. This group of twenty-somethings and early thirty-year-olds are on the opposite end of the age spectrum from baby boomers, but their needs and preferences are actually quite similar: modern, high-quality homes with convenient on-site amenities (i.e. exercise rooms) and not a lot of upkeep. As baby boomers enter into retirement, many are expected to trade in their family homes and downsize to condominiums near a fun, exciting locale (a.k.a. Chicago!). With two sizeable populations emerging onto the residential real estate scene in search of condo heaven, Chicago is prepared with a substantial supply of units in every shape, size, style and price

Ohad Marom asked:


Chicago is a wonderful city, but for good Chicago hotel deals you have to stay out of the Loop. The Chicago Loop refers to the historical center of downtown Chicago, and this is where the most expensive Chicago hotel deals are to be found. For Chicago hotel deals it is better to look in Lincoln Park, Lakeview and Bridgeport. Chicago hotel deals can be found in the Loop if you are able to find attractive package deals.

Saving Money with Chicago Hotel Deals

There are cheap hotels in Chicago and staying in these will save you money. However, you really don’t want to be wasting precious time on your vacation by spending time on busses and trains but rather be close to the heart of the city. Chicago hotel deals can be found at the Benedictine Bed and Breakfast which is run by Benedictine Monks in Bridgeport. Other options can include the Villa Toscana, close to Wrigley Field, the Days Inn Chicago which is a boutique hotel that is very affordable and is apparently the home from home of touring rock bands, and the Old Chicago Inn. Finding Chicago hotels deals at these hostelries will mean that you are situated within easy reach of public transport, and just outside the downtown area.

Chicago Hotel Deals at the “Heart O’ Chicago”

The Heart O’ Chicago is not in The Loop. It is a motel, situated approximately nine miles north of this downtown area. Situated in Edgewater, this retro motor lodge should not be easily dismissed. The rooms are not that pleasantly decorated and it is a traffic heavy area. But you should not let this deter you, this bare-bones motel provides free parking which is an absolute treasure and staying here will ensures a great Chicago hotel deal. It also means that you will be staying near the shopping in Clark Street and Broadway as well as close to the bar hopping scene. Accommodation at this cheap Chicago hotel costs from as little as $62 per night.

Chicago Hotel Deals in Low Season

It is virtually impossible to find cheap Chicago Hotels in high season, conventions are being held in the central hotels at this time so it is better to stay out of the Loop. It is obvious that for money saving reasons you should visit in low season, but Chicago is not called the „Windy City“ for no reason. Its close proximity to Lake Michigan means it is windy, and although there are still a great many attractions and things to do in the low season, make sure you take your winter woolies with you. Chicago has a well established public transport system so this makes it easy to book cheap Chicago hotels and commute, and still be only a few minutes away from the main attractions. Staying out of the Loop means you still have access to the Seneca Hotel and Suites, from $99 per night, the Windy City Urban Inn from $115 per night and the Willows Inn from $139 per night and this includes breakfast. To get the best Chicago hotel deals you have to stay away from the city center, it is also possible to find cheap Chicago hotels in low season.
