[Chicago] Give me some restaurant & Chicago info inputs

[Warren Lindsey]

Check out the http://www.centerstage.net/virtual-el/blue.cfm website
for things to do along your el route of choice.  This link is for the
blue line and clicking on each station stop will list bars,
restaurants, shows, art galleries, and more.  These then link to
locations and reviews.

HTH,
Warren
