A few obvious places: Navy Pier. When I was young, it was derelict.  
Now it is a touristy as it gets. However, the view of Chicago from it  
is really great, allowing one to forget the touristy bit. Just stroll  
down the pier, have a beer/wine/Chicago pizza/red hots, listen to some  
free live music. Then head a bit south along Michigan Avenue to Grant  
Park. It to is all shiny. Lots of activity.  There is an outdoor  
concert shell that is state of the art : everyone gets good sound.  
Lots of interesting things to see even if there is no music at the  
time.  Don't miss the Bean. At the south end of the park is Buckingham  
Fountain (famous long before Married With Children's opening credits).  
At dusk, there is a really nice light and water show. It is quite  
interesting that the water part of the show dates from when the  
fountain was built 100 years ago. There is more to it than meets the  
eye. Time's up. Back to the hotel.

It is RSofT and there is always something under construction.
It is like talking about large city with all constructions finished.
Not impossible, but very unlikely.
