This review is from: Frommer's Chicago 2000 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

It's a good guide to Chicago. It helped me plan my trip, and navigate my way through the city. However, like any other travel book, some sites in Chicago do go out of business, and is still listed in the book. So, I suggest calling ahead or asking your concierge if the place is still in business. The book is a good starting block for your first trip to Chicago. It gives descriptive information on transportation through the city and suggestions on things to do in and around the city. The book is segemented into activties and then boroughs of Chicago, so it provides a good planning guide for your trip to Chicago.
