Visiting chicago tomorrow needs some advice...
I'm coming down to Chicago monday for a day trip to show some relatives the city. What are some things to show them in the downtown area. Is it a good idea to just park outside the city and take the train in? just need some idea on what to do for the day. thanks.

from grand rapids, mi
amtrak tickets are expensive so were going to drive down park at the cottage grove station and take the L downtown. its cheaper that way I figure and they can see more of the city that way.
I know there is lots to do downtown. So give me a few things.

they come from toronto and want to see chicago for the day. nothing to big just wanted some ideas on what things to show them around the city. they arent really interested in going up to the sears, I was thinking the pier and millennium park.

Go up to the Signature Room lounge for a cocktail, that place never fails to impress...
just stopped by today with another AWer and it's always a hit.
Millenium Park is a big meh, IMHO.
The Pier, while cheezy, is always good for tourists.
A drive all the way north on LSD and back is always fun...lake view heading north, skyline view heading south.
