Chicago is expensive? - Brady

Yes, of course. But also, it doesn't always have to be. At least when it comes to entertainment, especially in the summer.

This week, on Tuesday, Kevin and I got $10 student tickets to see The Sins of Sor Juana - a really excellent play at the Goodman Theater. Mexico. Poetry. Feminism. Nuns. What's not to like?

Then, last night, I had a picnic in Millennium Park with Kevin and his family. We saw a presentation of scenes from the movie Planet Earth, accompanied by the Grant Park Orchestra. The nature shots were really beautiful, and hearing the music live was incredible. And that was free.



If you take the time to seek out activities beyond eating out and shopping, Chicago can be a really interesting and surprisingly inexpensive place.

Now, the price of housing? That's a different story...
