OAK PARK.   Renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright began building this house in 1889. As his style developed, so did the home, and Wright continued to make unique additions to it to suit his personal needs. Today, guided tours showcase his studio and its chain-hung balcony, along with a playroom designed for his children that offers treetop views. The architect's signature style and taste are clearly evident throughout the intricately designed home. Tours depart from Ginkgo Tree Bookshop and run from 45 minutes to an hour in length.   (© 10Best)

Oak Park- worth the visit Not only is the tour informative, but right outside are examples of his body of work. Don't forget a visist to the Unity Temple. The walk is gorgeous, people are friendly. And to end your time in Oak Park, plan on dinner at Lake and Oak Park Ave. No chain restaurants - one of my fav is Hemingsway's, a French Bistro. And to top it off, drop in on Brown Cow on Madison Ave for homemade Ice cream
