   Additional tidbits: Chicago is wonderful in the Fall and sometimes a bit breezy, so
   layer up. There is a time change at 2:00 AM Saturday night, so don’t forget to
   change your watch by one hour. Main attractions close by 6:00 PM.

   Chicago is known as the “Windy City”, but not due to the wind; however, it is due to
   the fact that Chicago politicians have a tendency to blow out a lot of “hot air” (smile).
   Enjoy your visit to Chicago!
