Re: Chicago. We took a bike tour along the lakefront and up to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Don't know if you like zoos but is a good one and free!
The architecture in Chicago is brilliant if you like that sort of thing. The Magnificent Mile is great for shopping, again if you like that sort of thing! Blues Brothers locations such as Wrigley Field, the Daley Plaza (that's where they have the Picasso) are easy to get to. Some others can be a bit harder to find. Maxwell St is very gentrified now, not like the movie at all.
With LA, we had a great day at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Universal Studios was fun. We did the Paramount Studio tours which was brilliant! Much less theme parky than Universal and more personal with a small group. A trip down to Santa Monica and hire some bikes to cycle down to Venice Beach for lunch is interesting. Also did a tour of the Kodak Theatre.
I actually liked LA!
