    heading to chicago on 30th may, looking to stay around wrigleyville. anyone up for sharing accomodation?
  6.  
    I'm heading out with a few girls on the 25th May. Where's good for accommodation does anyone know?
  7.  
    where are you flying from? im flying from shannon on the 25th and the people im heading over with are on a different flight! Wrigleyville is suppose to be good for Accomodation, you can look on Craigs list but im sure its not that hard to get accomodation sorted within the first few days.
