Taste of Chicago Begins This Friday

For Sloopers the Taste of Chicago is a mixed bag. Some love to wander over to Grant Park, enjoy some great food and soak up the summer weather. For others, the massive amounts of people that invade the area proves to be a big inconvenience and headache for two straight weeks.

For us, we love the musical acts that play for free. Starting this Friday, the fun begins. Some of the highlights that we're looking forward to seeing are Robert Randolph and the Family Band (Sunday, July 4th), the Steve Miller Band (Saturday, July 3rd) and a blast from the past Bell Biv Devoe, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, Rob Base and the one and only Salt-N-Peppa (Friday, June 25th):

So if you're around with nothing to do, brave the crowds and enjoy a unique and occasionally fun Chicago Summer tradition.
