5 Things to Do: July 10-12

It’s a typical summer weekend in Chicagoland: There’s so much to do! With Taste of Chicago, Taste of Lakeview and Windy City Smokeout, you’ll be so busy (and so full!). But while you shouldn’t miss those annual favorites, you also shouldn’t miss sidewalk sales in Northbrook and Evanston, a concert in Millennium Park, golf in Glenview and a burger fest in Roscoe Village.
