The Idea

I sat down to dinner tonight and turned on the TV to find that nothing was on - so I flipped through the channels until a show on WTTW caught my eye: "The Foods of Chicago: A Delicious History." Right up my alley. I switched to the station, which, to my chagrin, was right in the middle of a telethon - the part where they ask for money and read notes from viewers. Each viewer who donated money also made a Chicago restaurant suggestion from various neighborhoods. Hearing the names of these neighborhoods got me thinking: I've lived in the Chicago area for over six years now and I really haven't explored it much beyond the few neighborhoods in which I've lived. Just then, Zack came into the room - and together we came up with a plan.
