How do you like NC?
I used to go to Chicago every other year in November to attend the Pharmaceutical Packaging Show at the convention center. I stayed uptown in the Drake hotel and loved to visit there. Really nice retail stores on Michigan Ave and some good places to eat steaks. Used to always go to Blue Chicago for some blues music.
NC is awesome. loved every day that I have been here. Loved ChiTown as well. Just not the winters. I would frequent the Blues on Halsted Street now and again. Lots of blues clubs on Halsted street. Right next to Greektown. Great music, great food. Also went to undergrad near Greektown. Never a shortage of things to do in Chitown.
