Spring has FINALLY arrived in the form of summer-like weather, but we're not complaining. Still, it got us talking around the Chicagoist office about a few of our favorite things about Spring in our fair city. Feel free to share yours in the comments.
- Skirts that end above the knees
- Riding my bike in a skirt or dress and some heel... long, slow coast rides. and then there's the 10,000 bike dudes everywhere
- Regaining the ability to take long walks. Specifically, walking home from work
- Grilling.
- Long lines of bicyclists heading to work
- Farmers markets
- Patio seating
- Baseball!
- Having hours of daylight after getting off work
- Weekend afternoons at the packed dog park
- A long wait on an 'L' platform is actually enjoyable
- Sweating... that's not caused by eating too much food
- Outdoor performances, concerts and festivals
- Opening the windows in my apartment
