#1 Still no word from Foggy Bottom or local government on the 10-14 July Taste of Chicago festival.

#2 Unless you really want the experience, that's another good one to stay away from, B.

The food and music is extremely excellent, but the crowds are not. Pickpockets, street thugs and panhandlers are out in force. It gets really weird after dark.

If you're from out of town, park at Ohare (my choice) or Midway and ride the EL train to downtown. Ohare-Loop is 'Blue Line', Midway-Loop is 'Orange Line'. Orange Line can get disturbing, though.

Leave the downtown before 10PM.

#4 Rap music(?). Good enough reason for me to stay away.

#5 Sounds like every-town USA these days. I'd say leave before 9PM.
