CHICAGO — It may be feeling a bit autumnal today in Chicago, but summer is far from over — especially if we have anything to say about it. Savor the outdoors (while we still can) with these five suggestions for fun activities under the sun today.
Eat Free Ice Cream At Cedar Playlot: If there’s ever been any reason to get up and go outside, it’s these three words: Free Ice Cream. And today, Ald. Harry Osterman (48th) is making it happen. Join his office at Cedar Playlot, right off the CTA Berwyn Red Line, to cool off with a sweet treat while the summer is still around. Cedar Playlot, 5311 N. Winthrop Ave., 5 p.m., Free.
Join the Search for Nemo: It's been 12 years since "Finding Nemo" first hit the big screen.
