As its Intonation Fest approaches and out-of-towners descend, Vice takes its own brand of "wit" to the Windy City with a Guide to Chicago. Like you might expect, it includes features on neighborhoods ("Wrigleyville: Do not -- we repeat, do not -- come near here on a Chicago Cubs game day. Or ever.") and shopping ("Tangerine: This is where the girls who work at Penelope's used to work."), as well as a romp around town with Chloe Sevigny bonus track. Do or don't. You decide.
