I'm traveling to Chicago soon and I was hoping to get some hot spots for eating during my visit.  I was wondering if you could give me five or so and recommend things to eat.

Hey Dave,
How are you? Deregulation is another way of saying, "we can purchase our energy (gas and/or electric) from someone other than the provided we have had to use forever". One of my brother firefighters here in NY showed me this opportunity a year ago and I haven't looked back. I'm 47 and don't want to bang nails to put my kids through college. I'm sure you have seen many "UNBELIEVABLE" opportunities come through the firehouse. I have seen my share as well and have never got involved, BUT this one made sense to me. Please take a look and let me know what you think. GrowWith.Energy526.com Thanks for your interest. Stay Safe!
