The Loop
Throughout its history, Chicago has been a hub for transportation, communication and innova-
tion. Chicago is home to one of the most diverse economies in the country with a broad range
of industries, such as high-tech, manufacturing, distribution, as well as air travel. In addition to
the numerous corporations which call Chicago home, the private-sector workforce of nearly four
million people keeps the city’s 350 billion dollar economy running.
The Loop has blossomed into a vibrant, mixed-use district, filled with retail stores, restau-
rants, residences, and entertainment, along with respected educational and world-class cultural
institutions. The longevity and accessibility of these institutions has resulted in the growing
sense of a truly cohesive community, and as the Loop gains greater appreciation of it's unique
offerings, the numbers of residents, businesses, students and visitors continues to rise rapidly.

Father Time
Still undecided about what to do in Chicago? Here are a few of his favorites:
A tie. A box of golf balls. A barbecue apron... Let’s face it, dad’s a good-natured guy. Chances are
he won’t give his kids any outright grief for honoring him on Father’s Day with one of these
age-old “dad” gift ideas. But he won’t be talking about any of them weeks later, either (or even
wearing that tie, in all honesty). No, when it comes to giving the old man a day to truly remem-
ber, it’s all about the experience. It’s about sharing the day with his family exploring Chicago.
CELEBRATE
Nothing better espouses the intersection of summer in Chicago and relaxing with dad quite like
a great neighborhood festival.
In the West Loop, treat dad to food samples from one of the city’s hottest restaurant rows and
enjoy live music at the annual Taste of Randolph festival. Friday 5pm-10pm, Saturday and Sun-
day, 11am-10pm. $10. 900 W. Randolph, 773.665.4682.
Keeping the focus on food, there’s nothing myste-
rious about SausageFest Chicago. If it’s encased
and grilled, it’s got a place at this two-day celebra-
tion of music and meat in the shadow of Wrigley
Field. Saturday and Sunday, Noon-10pm. $5. 3600
N. Sheffield, 773.868.3010.
Another way to honor dad’s love of grilling while
giving him a day off from the coals is a visit to the
6 Corners BBQ Festival, where food and music
once again offer a great excuse to wander for a
few hours. Saturday and Sunday, Noon-9pm. FREE.
4000 N. Milwaukee, 773.685.9300.
EXPLORE
If you’ve got an active dad, get him out there to
see the city.
At Bike Chicago, you can rent a couple of two-
wheelers to cruise the lakefront at your own pace,
or sign up for one their organized guided tours
covering the city’s food scene and architecture.
239 E. Randolph, 312.729.1000.
Spend the day exploring the city on tours from
Steve’s Segway Tours. Tour prices and times vary.
350 E. Monroe, 312.946.9467.
SHOP
It’s not that dad doesn’t like shopping, he just
needs to find a store that fits his style.
At Iwan Ries & Co., he can marvel at the hundreds
of cigar and pipe selections, try out a variety of to-
baccos in the parlor or just soak in the throwback
atmosphere of one of the city’s oldest family-run
businesses. 19 S. Wabash, 312.372.1306.
For clothing and accessories that take him back
to his military days – regardless of the era – he’ll
be overwhelmed by the selection on display at
Belmont Army Surplus. 855 W. Belmont,
773.549.1038.
