CHICAGO — This weekend, we started to panic. Summer is winding down. The back-to-school supplies are out, and we need to get as much sunshine as we can. Monday be damned! Here are some outdoor options.
1. Beware and Be Grateful: After tonight, only one Downtown Sound concert at Millennium Park remains. Get there! Chicago's own Maps & Atlases performs tonight with psychedelic rockers Wooden Ships. Free. Starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, 201 E. Randolph St.
2. Go See the Real "Space Jam": LeBron James is great and all, but we don't know how we feel about a "Space Jam" sequal. Go see the Michael Jordan version in Jefferson Park tonight. Free. Starts at 8 p.m. at Indian Road Park, 6010 W. Marson Ave.
3. Eat an Awesome Burger: The massive patio at Moody's is perfect for a laid-back Monday evening outside. Order some sangria and one of its famous burgers and pretend it isn't Monday. Open Mondays from 11:30 a.m. - 1 a.m., 5910 N. Broadway.
4. Take the Dog to the Beach: You were out and about all weekend, so you owe your pup some quality time. Take him to the beach! The Montrose Dog Beach is regularly filled with happy, frolicking dogs. It'll make your dog happy and put you in a good mood. Open sunrise until 9 p.m. To find it, just follow Wilson Avenue until it curves north along the lake. You'll spot the dogs right away.
5. De-stress in the Park: There's free yoga in Wicker Park this evening. BYO mat, and we suggest a large water bottle. The class starts at 6:30 p.m. at Schiller Street and Damen Avenue in Wicker Park.
