K: I guess whatever you think are the biggest attractions.

K: Wow, thanks! Where can I get the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza?

K: That sounds great. I’m also a huge baseball fan. Are the Cubs in town this weekend?
I: You’re in luck. Chicago’s two hometown teams, the White Sox and the Cubs, are going head to head8 this Saturday.
K: Amazing! I can’t wait to get a Chicago-style hot dog at Wrigley Field.
I: You should get tickets online as soon as possible. They’ll sell out fast.
