Don't worry, the odds are pretty good you'll survive.

Of course, the doesn't mean one shouldn't exercise ordinary diligence.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Green Mill for jazz.

Yes, winter is not bad at all. Unfortunately winter has gotten shorter and shorter in the last 10 years.
Last year we were over 80s around Christmas time and it cooled down only a few weeks in JAN. I went to the Artigras, an outdoor event held in mid-february and afterward around 2p.m. we could not eat outside because it was too hot.
More than the actual temperature, the humidity is the killer.

I didn't actually read all six pages, but I'm a Florida resident who just rented out a place in Chicago and I'm going back to Wellington next month for the winter.

How did it go?

Ubuntumatrix, if "how did it go?" refers to my trip to Chicago, that hasn't happened yet. I will be there 10/21 to 10/27.

I think both are good, although the Green Mill feels touristy to me.

Yeah, I just got caught up reading your responses.

As a fellow local in Chicago right now, I have to tell you what amazed me when I first visited here from Florida.

Portillos
Navy Pier
Oak Street Beach when there's snow
Lincoln Park Zoo, this free zoo is so amazing I'm actually a paid member
John Hancock Center
Wrigleyville, you're coming when baseball is over, but it's a different exciting world.
Chicago Riverwalk
Millennium Park, if SoFla had it I'd probably never go to The Breakers
Food, Food, Food; first time I visited for two months I left 14 pounds heavier.

Where are you in WPB?
How are you traveling here? I'd recommend Southwest Airlines.

Can I tell you what I can't wait to have again in WPB though?
Decent Slow Pitch Softball

Not to mention it's quite a hike from his hotel.
