There's a bunch, you just have to go out and find it. :) The problem I had with Chicago (I used to live in Uptown) was that it snows for 9 months outta the year, and you're too cold to actually go out and do anything. And once you get home and get dry/warm, you don't wanna go back out again. That suuuuucks.
The trick was to stop and do these things on the way home from work, so you only go home once! ;)
