Anywhere between Garfield and 79th, between the Dan Ryan Expressway and Western.
You'll find great accommodations. A hop, skip, and a jump from Marquette Park for a fun family picnic in the afternoon. Easy access to I-90/94 to hop off anywhere near Downtown.
Not far from Oak Woods Cemetery, where great Olympian and activist, Jessie Owens was put to rest.
Near from Hamilton Park, where you can find great deals on medication.
Experience games for the kids in Ogden Park, named after Chicago's first Mayor(so you know they want to preserve and keep this place safe), where the family can really get into that Chicago culture, dance to some great beats at all hours of the day. Don't forget to stop in at nearby Homies Kitchen, rated 3.5 on yelp and will aim to please anyone from out of town.
We also have a saying in this part of town that will get you an in with the local folks. Just shout 'La Raza' with a smile and give anyone who gives you a look with any hand gesture you like(keep it clean, no flipping the birds). Thus assuring you make new friends. La Raza stems from a shortened term from an old Latin Chicago saying; The people make the city great. Feel free to say it as much as you like, and if someone says it to you, respond with GD (gee dee), what we shorten for 'good day'.
Enjoy your trip and check back in with us.
Last but not least, make sure everyone on the trip knows their blood type. At the local sports bars, most people don't like that boring zodiac sign BS, we want to talk basic A,B,Os.
