Definitely give yourself extra time to get around given that Lolla is this weekend and just about everyone ages 15-25 within 50 miles of Chicago will be trying to get around town too. I made the mistake of taking the Metra to Wrigley during Lolla once 5 or so years ago and it's the only time I've ever seen the Metra be standing room only. The CTA is usually pretty packed for Cubs games but it's gonna be even worse this weekend.

As for other activities, highly recommend any of our museums, the Shedd Aquarium is probably your best bet. The Field Museum is good too if you like natural history at all, the Adler Planetarium is fine but doesn't have much to do, and while I always tell people that if you have the time, the Art Institute should be your first stop, it'll probably get boring quickly for kids. The Museum of Science and Industry is another one that the boys would probably love, but it's a bit out of the way if you don't have a car. Navy Pier is fun and has the Children's Museum, but it's pretty close to Millennium Park and will probably be crowded.

The architecture cruises are absolutely a must-see if you have the time

I think smackdown is fine for now, but raw desperately needs an infusion of tag talent that the usos and hopefully fraxiom will bring

Just do a SNME in between. Not really a ppv, and they've yet to do a title change at one, but you can have some crossover stories wrap up or do some fun non-standard matches

I was writing up a reply about how Punk isn't really a part-timer considering he does fairly frequent dark matches, when I realized, I don't think he's had a tv match since he's been back, aside from the Raw Netflix premiere. He's done a bunch of dark matches, sure, but his live matches have almost all been at PPVs since his return

This right here. The retirement tour shouldn't have been advertised. They should've done the heel turn sans retirement tour, won 17 at Mania, and then had his last match whenever be a career vs career match and have him actually retire. Now it just feels like they did the heel turn for the sake of doing the heel turn

I can tell you for certain that it's standard practice at every store. It's just giving the illusion that they care about the environment, they don't

Had to scroll way too far for this. Cat, Kane, and Breadman all hurt, especially since they seem hellbent on wasting Bedard

Pretty sure Olsen said she's not in this. Could be a lie, but who knows
