    City halls are something that I usually enjoy exploring when visiting a new city. We stopped by the Chicago city hall and it gave a more classical feel compared to the other more modern-looking buildings in the city. This building was built in the mid-1800s and served as the government center for Chicago from then until the present, minus some years because of the Great Chicago Fire. There are 10 stories in this building and house a variety of city services, from vital records to marriage licenses to death certificates. There were also the department of finance as well as the department of aging. The office of the mayor of Chicago is also in this building though we didn't get to explore much else other than the main floor. As we concluded our exploration we went down a flight of stairs that continued through an underground pedestrian walkway that ultimately led us across the street to the other side and was a nice little adventure.

    Free Flu Shots 2nd Floor 9-2 October 17, 2019!!!!

    Today (October 17, 2019: Times: 9am-2pm) I attended a Free Walk-In-First Come-First Serve Flu Shot Clinic open to the residents of Chicago at the City of Chicago's Department of Public Health on the Second Floor of City Hall in the Department's Lobby. THE NEXT FREE FLU SHOT CLINIC HERE IS: December 3, 2019 9:00 AM-2:00 PM FYI: While there are signs around the City of Chicago providing information about this free clinic-I want to thank the web site: CHICAGO ON THE CHEAP for this information. chicagoonthecheap.com/fr... My overall experience at City Hall had much to be desired by the "information desk" officer who I asked for directions to the Chicago Department of Public Health. The female officer was "snappy" and said that she was on the "Cook County" "side of the building and that the City of Chicago was on the "opposite side of the building." Yet there was only one information desk and "she was in charge of it!" I did not know that City Hall encompassed the County Side vs. The City of Chicago side. The female officer was also unaware of the Flu Shot Clinic Open to the PUBLIC. Furthermore, I also witnessed the female officer "interact" with another individual who was asking about the location of the Probate Department regarding a matter concerning the will of a deceased family member. The same City Hall officer also continued with the same troublesome demeanor and did not appear to "know" where to direct the individual. Odd that a City Employee does not seem to "know" what offerings are in the "building" that employs her. 5 STARS FOR THE CHICAGO CITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH- See my review: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chicago-department-of-public-health-chicago-6?hrid=6GEEOSJGnhujILUeI9OOFg I DID ENJOY THE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH PINK LIGHTS IN THE HISTORICAL LANTERNS.

    City Hall - County Building

    This City Hall actually looks like a prototypical city hall. It is a hulking mass by the architecture firm Holabird and Roche that occupies a city block. Large neoclassical columns provide the illusion of power and stability. City Hall actually occupies the west half of the block, sharing time and space with the County Building on the east side facing Daley Plaza. City Hall connects with the labyrinthine underground pedway system.

    Old school scale inside city hall - still works

    You are reviewing City hall? Yes. Yes I am. I'll preface this by saying that we did not go to Cook county city hall for actual services. We only went because both my fiance and I are Blues Brothers fas and we felt you can't go to Chicago and not see the location of the scene(s) where the Jake and Elroy are running from pretty much the entire city of Chicago's law enforcement. We walked through the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza and 'saw where they got that Picasso' and walked right into Cook County City Hall. I was surprised there were no metal detectors, there were signs requesting no guns though, that's right folks, just please no weapons. Maybe they have metal detectors upstairs? It was really awesome to be able to walk around. We did not go up to the office of the assessor. It was about lunch time though, so he'd probably be back in five minutes. We did ask a police officer if there was any sign or plaque dedicated to the Blues Brothers, the officer we asked kind of gave us a blank stare before the supervising? officer came over to talk to us. Very nice lady. She told us unfortunately, there was no sign (well that's disappointing) but she was able to share some tidbits about how they went about making the movie, and where filming took place. Some facts we knew, some facts were new, but we enjoyed our visit. Even if you aren't a Blues Brother fan, the interior is gorgeous and the architecture is beautiful, and everyone was super nice and polite to us. We were worried and concerned the entire time we were there that we were going to get kicked out or yelled at for taking pictures, but instead most of the staff was more than willing to give us information. Maybe they should start giving Blues brothers or Al Capone tours.

    FIVE STARS! After visiting a handful of venues, the moment we stepped into The Joinery, it just…read morefelt right. The space was beautiful, full of character, and had this welcoming energy we instantly connected with. Then we met Shay--and that completely sealed the deal. From the start, she was warm, down-to-earth, and so easy to talk to. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding and that we'd be in the best hands. Working with Shay was such a gift. She clearly cares so much about the couples she works with, and it shows in everything she does. She was thoughtful, incredibly organized, and genuinely invested in making sure our day went exactly how we envisioned it. She kept things moving behind the scenes without ever making it feel stressful, and somehow managed to make everything feel calm, seamless, and joyful from start to finish. One of the best parts was that Shay recommended nearly all of our vendors--and every single one was incredible. It was so clear she only refers people she trusts and knows will deliver. That made the entire planning process feel so much easier, and we felt completely supported every step of the way. We also really appreciated The Joinery's mission. Their commitment to sustainability and inclusiveness meant a lot to us--it felt really good to be celebrating in a space that aligned with our values and made all of our guests feel welcome. We also can't say enough good things about the whole experience. The venue was stunning, the Millhouse was the perfect place for our family to stay and get ready, and the drinks that Molly and her team served were a huge hit. Every little detail was thoughtful and beautifully done. We're so grateful we chose The Joinery for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more--and Shay played such a big part in making that happen. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better space, a better team, or a better experience. We love The Joinery & Shay!
