Since moving to Chicago, this book has been a valuable resource. I cannot overstate how helpful this book has been to me.

Moving here with virtually no knowledge of the area (and no car for exploring), this book has assisted me numerous times. It features maps of neighborhoods and lists of the places in those neighborhoods - stores, banks, etc.

If you are moving to a city you are unfamiliar with - and that city has a Not For Tourists Guide - buy a copy!! ( )
