If you ever go to England and get a chance to visit Stonehenge also go Avebury as there you can touch them and feel the energy that they emit.

So homoe, sounds like you like Chicago. I grew up in Indy, and moved to Chicago at age 16. Got a couple places to visit.

Chicago: Nat'l Leather Archives on Clark St.
Chicago: Ride all the "L" routes. Worth the time. ImHO, Chi. has the best mass transit system in the country. Beats out MARTA, NYC, BART, et al.
Chicago: Chicago Board of Trade (during trading) and the Commodities Mkt.
Chicago: Oak St. Beach in the summer.
Chicago: Brookside Zoo
Chicago: Picnic in Lincoln Park
Chicago: Rush St. at night
Chicago: Halstead Ave. weekend nights and/or gay pride weekend

There are way too many neat things to list. It's my favorite city, can you tell? Definitely worth a visit there. Isn't just a "if you're there see" type of city.

Indianapolis: Indpls. Motor Speedway Museum, #1 of course. Indy car racing
is awesome.
Indianapolis: Monument Circle (center of the city WWI monument) summer
or during the Christmas season. It's beautiful..lighted from top
to bottom with Christmas lights.
Indianapolis: The Children's Museum is world renowned.
Indianapolis: Drive/ride down Meridian St. to see all the 1800s mansions.
Indianapolis: Benjamin Harrison's home and that whole neighborhood that is
very historical...neat old houses.

Indy is only about 1.5 hrs southeast of Chicago on Chi's Dan Ryan followed by I-65 right in to downtown Indianapolis.

WOW thank you so very much for posting all those places....

If you're still game after cruising Brady Street, check out Downer Avenue! More great eateries, a fabulous bookstore, a hardware store that carries just about everything, and take in a movie at the Downer Theater if time permits!

If you like Ramen dishes and you are in Houston, check out Ninja Ramen on Washington Avenue. Its across from Pearl lounge and side bar. I can get the address if anyone is interested.
