How to survive in Chicago and enjoy it

the long version

When Action Line started a few years ago, no one believed that a Chicago newspaper column could attempt to aid everyone who contacted it for help. More than a million resolved problems and questions later, here is Action Line's private formula for surviving in Chicago, how to get a little more out of all the opportunities you may be missing - in short, no matter how long you have lived here, how to ENJOY the town more than you ever thought possible, and at low cost or free. Here are chapters that include the answers to hundreds of the most frequently asked everyday questions, the shortcuts for getting through red tape, the inside track on how to get what you want, who does what, and how fast, and where the fun is - for the whole family as well as for the visiting fireman.
