Chicago: "Don't Come Here!"
I was planning on visiting Chicago and doing some exploring with my wife and daughter this summer. Then I read about the cost of visiting Chicago.
Starting July 1, a shopping trip to Chicago's Magnificent Mile will cost more. That's when the sales tax in the city hits an astronomical 10.25%, which may be the highest in the U.S.
We may still visit. But with taxes that high, I don't think we'll be doing much shopping or eating while we're there. Mainly looking. And we'll fill make sure our gas tax is full before we leave home.
