My husband visited Chicago on business a few years ago and raved about it. He said it had some of the best restaurants he's ever had the pleasure of trying out.

As for the coyotes, I'd be a bit nervous. My neighbor's dog was attacked and killed by a coyote. My neighbor had to go through rabies shots. Nearby, some small kids were attacked. I've only seen them in my backyard a few times, and I steer clear of them.
