I am an exchange stundent in Michigan...My last days arrived so my friends planned a one day trip to chicago with me. We are gonna leave at 7 at the adrian area, so we will hopefully arrive around 11 and have an entire day without any pressure. Neither one of us has ever been there so im courious what we have to see, if there is a local shopping area with stores you can only find in chicago that offer cool cloth and if we should park somewhere for the day and use the public transportation. Thank you for every answer

as you may have figured out too, we all are 18, so the downtown area would be really cool, if there is somehing like this and everything is a lil bit younger
With only a day, I'd suggest you park downtown and explore the Magnificent Mile section of Michigan Ave first. It's one of the country's best shopping areas. After that take public transportation to the Bucktown/Wicker Park (hipstertown) area in search of cooler boutiques for younger people like yourselves. Here's a source for some shops there: http://www.luckymag.com/shopping/stores/guides/chicago/neighborhoods/bucktown
