Great Time to Visit Chicago From Europe
Monday January 7, 2008
As reported in the Chicago Tribune, the number of overseas visitors was up 8 percent in 2007 compared to 2006. Part of the reason might be the great U.S. Dollar exchange rate being enjoyed by the Euro, which as of today is at $1.47. And of course when you get more for your money, Chicago's great shopping scene sure looks attractive. So my fine European tourist friends, bring those empty suitcases and go forth and spread around some of that newly found wealth, our local economy is depending on it!
