What We Want Chicago Visitors To Know

Every week in the summer, Chicago is packed with tourists, out-of-town family and friends, and suburbanites. Next week, the Democratic National Convention is expecting over 50,000 visitors from across the country. Host Jacoby Cochran and producer Michelle Navarro talk about where visitors should go, how to get around, what to do, and what not to do.
