Title says it all. I’m on an “away team” opening up a new fulfillment center in Markham, just south of Chicago, but still in Cook County. I’ll have weekends free to discover Chicago. I know the city has some great museums and shopping. Looking forward to the Pritzker Military museum and the Science and Industry museum. I love local food and don’t want to dine at chain places. I’ve signed up for a Ventra card. I’ll have a rental car, but I’ve heard the traffic is pretty heavy, and I’m not really used to driving in a large city. I’m open to any suggestions or tips you may have. As of this date, I know I’ll be staying at an extended stay type of hotel, but I have no idea where, and I don’t even know what airport I’m flying into. That being said, I’m sort of clueless.

I did a Google of museums, the Navy Pier, and shopping.
