ok, so i'm taking my girlfriend out tonight. and i wanted to do something a bit different than dinner and a movie. we are getting diner, but i was thinking of going to the lake and walking the beach or doing something outside, but can't think of any thing or places to go. can you help me? she is under 21, so bars are a no no. i live in mchenry but have no prblems driving out to chitown or schaumburg or anything around there. can some one give some ideas of what we can do? anything would be great as long as it is outside.
thanx
ja

Got any kart tracks nearby? They're a blast for a date, and a pretty good workout too.

I kinda like Oak Park - but i'm nuts about Wright's architecture ... How about a walk along the River in Chi. ending at that huge ferris wheel on the pier?

dinner at:

West Town Tavern
1329 W. Chicago Ave.

it's a nice night for a stroll
in a jacket on the lake shore.

just take it easy and converse,
maybe some wine'll help.

cheers.

Unity Temple is on the 'main drag' (don't remember the street name ...) and residences, including Wright's Studio, are all over town ...

http://www.oprf.com/flw/ ... gives the details ...

Ahhhh my old home town GOOD CHOICE. there was a Harry Potter Fest hapening too, so maybe timing was not the best. Stop by Tasty Dog on Lake St, good stuff.

Fireworks happen EVERY Saturday at Navy Pier. plus the Ferris wheel is there too, always a great date destination. From there you can take a nice walk to Buckingham Fountain.

Mini Golf is all over, Karts are a hard thing to find in Chicago. If anyone knows of good karts let us know!
