This is correct. There were PLENTY of food options. My son and I walked over to the Parkway Bank Park thing both days. We had pizza one day and awesome BBQ another day. Cooled down in the air conditioning and walked the 8 minutes back
I think Chicago is a FANTASTIC location. You can't beat a shuttle ride from the airport and then not having to leave the area. Plenty of food / trade nights etc.
AC was the worst experience I've had in the 7(?) times I've been. Renting a car in Philly, driving an hour+ thru awful traffic, boarded up casinos and shut down restaurants. We won't go back if it is ever there.
But everyone has a view I guess. Enjoyed your report.
