Take a walk on the wild side of town when you explore these off-the-wall spots. These mini-museums, hidden alleyways, dive-bars, and overall quirky spaces are not only mysterious and strange, but also intriguing and enchanting, and will probably make for great stories in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collect your own memories at these out-of-the-box Chicago hangouts this year!<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago Sports Museum<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Everything you\u2019ve ever wanted to know about Chicago athletes is accessible here at this sports-themed museum. If you\u2019re a genuine fan, you\u2019ll be gawking over all the authentic memorabilia, sports history exhibits, and simulated experiences. The best part? Admission is a sweet $10.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, Disney only lived here until he was four years old, but it\u2019s still a pretty cool pass through. Project Directors Dina Benadon and Brent Young are currently working to restore this historic house to its original state as it has undergone significant alterations over the years. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve gotta have a strong stomach to step foot into this place. Though beautiful, both in design and purpose, there\u2019s certainly a grim mystique to the surgical tools that date back to the early years of this profession. But, if you\u2019re a nursing student or you\u2019re just interested in the weird, the IMSS is a must-see in Chicago. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Shit Fountain<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, we\u2019re serious. There\u2019s a bronze fountain topped with a large piece of doggie doo-doo in East Village, constantly reminding dog owners to clean up after their pups. Both artistic and functional!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever wondered what Kennedy\u2019s campaign buttons looked like? Maybe not, but you could find them here if you wanted to! Among the buttons you\u2019ll see at this all-inclusive museum, you\u2019ll notice puns, propaganda, pictures, and presidents. And, if you’re into decorating your backpack, jean jacket, hat, whatever, you can even custom-make your own buttons or browse the Busy Beaver Button Co. online shop<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*humming* Inspector Gadget\u2026 it\u2019s been happily stuck in my head after taking a look at this spy-themed corner store. A percentage of every purchase of these gadgets and disguises goes to <\/span>support free writing programs<\/span><\/a> for Chicago\u2019s youth, so, you know, that\u2019s pretty cool, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wieners Circle<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Okay so no \u2013 Wiener’s Circle isn’t necessarily obscure. But it is pretty weird. So we’ll allow it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though you may have heard of Ed Debevic\u2019s\u2014which closed its doors last year, making us wait eagerly for their return\u2014the Wieners Circle encourages a similar trend of being\u00a0sassy to customers, and vice versa, but only in the late hours of the evenings. This hot dog stand is known to stay open until 5 a.m. on the weekends, attracting all sorts of wandering guests. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leather Archives and Museum<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Feeling kinky? Admission is just $10 to this fetish lifestyle-preserving museum, featuring exhibits that explore the theme of leather in body play, gay bars, women\u2019s history, history in <\/span>general<\/span><\/i>\u2026 all the things. You\u2019re sure to walk out of here feeling both informed and exhilarated. <\/span><\/p>\n

ACTIVATE Pop-up Parties<\/a><\/h2>\n

Some of Chicago\u2019s darkest alleys will be transformed into a booming celebration of art, performance, and culture through the summer series, ACTIVATE<\/a>, which is organized by the Chicago Loop Alliance<\/a>. Don\u2019t miss these free summer parties, starting on June 7, from 5 p.m.-10 p.m., and continuing on July 12, August 16, and September 13.<\/p>\n

Oh yes. Chicagoans have often been known to do crazy things like wear shorts in 40-degree weather, but this just tops it all. In the middle of January this year, an organized group rode the CTA pantless<\/a>, acting like they simply forgot to clothe themselves that day. Join them again next year, as we\u2019re sure this will come back around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

World Naked Bike Ride<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you thought that last one was crazy, I can only imagine what you\u2019ll say of the humans who strip naked and ride bikes through the streets of Chicago for one night on June 9. Their message is simple: safety, awareness, freedom from oil, positive body image promotion, and, most importantly, “Less gas, more ass!!!<\/a>”<\/p>\n
