Hey Chicago! I need some help 😎

I want to create a Guide together! Let’s put together the first CGL Community Approved City Guide. 🏙

It can be for anyone new to the city or coming to visit. OR maybe just wanting to explore new places! 🏙

What I need? All your favorite places to go, see, eat, drink & more. It can be anything from neighborhood gems to touristy spots. Add them all! 🏙

All your input will then be created for a guide that we can share with everyone 🏙

Add your favorites below & be specific! And thank you! I can’t wait to see how it comes together. 🏙 #mychicagopix #chicagodrinks #likechicago #explorechicago #chicagogram
