If you hit the city, can I recommend a few places?

Shedd Aquarium
any of our dozens of top blues and jazz places
hundreds of great restaurants

And if this is your first visit, Navy Pier is kind fun. They have a GREAT shakespeare theatre there, too.
Lots of theatre, dance, music, and really nice people.
AND NO RMONEY STICKERS!

I see more Ron Paul stickers than Romney, plus the usual wing nut/tea bag rhetoric.
The one that still makes me scratch my head: "Take our country back! (Dallas Pawn Shop)"

I have noticed a distinct uptick in the amount of Obama & pro-liberal stickers on the road, though. It's an encouraging trend.

I still see a few Bush/Cheney ones or McCain/Palin (which tends to make me speed up to get a look at them and just think, "Why?&quot , but no Romney ones yet.

Have seen a decent amount of Obama stickers, though.

Although that's not unusual for around here. Most signs don't go up until about the week before an election.

Also, I don't notice anywhere near as many Obama stickers as I did four years ago, and about half of them are left over from 2008. Neither candidate inspires deep love from their base, and that's especially true with Romney.
