2. Gene Siskel Film Center

I've been to the Siskel Film Center a few times over the past several years, and I've come to appreciate it as a wonderful venue for interesting and unique films. It's located right on North State Street, just a couple of blocks south of the Chicago River. The film center occupies the second floor of the building; and there is an elevator to take people there in addition to a stairway. The most recent visit was to see a new documentary about Benjamin Marshall, a Chicago architect who designed the Drake Hotel, the Blackstone Hotel, the Edgewater Beach Hotel, and the Schubert Theater, among many other buildings in Chicago in the early 20th century as well as countless buildings across the country. The film was produced by the Benjamin Marshall Society, which also sponsored the showing that was followed by a panel discussion on Benjamin Marshall as well as a nice reception. In the past, I have also viewed other documentaries as well as feature films that are unlikely to appear in local theaters, sponsored by a variety of organizations as well as movie studios. Foreign and experimental films are often on the kiosk. If you're in Chicago for any length of time, you'll want to explore the Siskel Film Center website to see what's playing. (One of the questions below asks if the place is "budget-friendly." The Marshall film, panel discussion, and reception were all free of charge; but one needed to have made a reservation. Other things I've attended have had varying prices; so one needs to check the website.)

Fifteen clues. Two hours. One city. This is Big City Hunt, a self-led scavenger race that sends groups capering around town to solve clues. But unlike other city-wide excursions, Big City Hunt unshackles racers from the tyranny of official start times and concrete dates. Players simply click on a launch code, head to the starting line, and get on with it whenever they've got a spare two hours.
