Oklahoma native, our cold weather pales in comparison to Chicago - there's a concert in early February right outside of O'Hare that I am headed towards. Most Chicago tourist guides I've encountered online simply don't advise to visit but my hands are tied.

What local things would you recommend to an outsider braving the outside? Any tips on staying warm?

By the way, Rosemont Horizon is now known as Allstate Arena.

The Rosemont Theatre is another venue nearby, and that has always been known as such.

We like to use the old names for things. We still call the Willis Tower the Sears Tower, for example.
