CHICAGO – The biggest “Oh God That’s THIS Weekend?” holidays of the year is fast approaching. Don’t fret because we’ve got the low-down on the best way to spend this Mother’s Day Weekend in Chicago. Despite the best laid plans, you won’t be able to shake the knowledge that she really, really hates your apartment.
She’s coming into town to visit from a nearby suburb, or god-forbid Ohio, and all she wants is just to spend some quality time with you, her offspring. There’s a great new exhibit at the art museum, and you can never go wrong with an architecture boat tour. She just can’t relax because has your fridge always made that noise? Is it supposed to do that? Really? You can’t hear it?

Chicago is home to world class entertainment, and you can show off your beloved city to her by getting tickets to the Second City, Steppenwolf, or the Goodman. Ask her what she’d be interested in seeing, right after she stops nervously checking out the window to where her car is parked. This is a safe neighborhood, right?
Post-show you can enjoy the high-class dining options the Windy City has to offer. A classic pick like the Billy Goat Tavern, or a more upscale option like The Whale can encapsulate that quintessential Chicago vibe. But really, you grew up in a nice home, and a sink like this doesn't reflect that.
Also, is it legal for a landlord to make a fourth floor walkup this steep? Are these stairs up to standard heights? They seem more steep than usual. Your father and I are happy to send you money if you need to get a nightstand. Honey, did you choose that paint color? I don’t want to throw around the word whorehouse willy-nilly, but visitors might get the wrong idea.
