Hey you all! List of Chicago Websites.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Hey! Well I am sure you noticed that Chicago magazine had a best website issue. Too bad for them they never actually posted it on their website. A website list only in print? Hmm seems like they could take a lesson or two from our class huh?

Well, little scrappy Time Out Chicago decided they would do Chicago magazine’s work for them. So if you are interested in a list of great websites here they are.
