So who is not reluctant to travel because of the current fiscal crisis? Everyone is scared to spend but if there is a change for a great deal, then you can bet that this package from Midwest deserves consideration. Midwest offers a variety of destinations where travelers can cure their wanderlust. The April issue of Chicago magazine, which hits newsstands today, highlights getaway regions in four nearby states, recommending lodging, dining, and entertainment options.

“These destinations offer something for every traveler: culture, history, entertainment, and recreation,” says Richard Babcock, Chicago editor. “It’s great to know you can leave your workweek behind and reach one of these getaway spots in under four hours.”

The feature focuses on food, wine, and antiques in southwestern Michigan; bicycling, beer, and theater in southern Wisconsin; scenic trails, state parks, and historical spots along the I&M Canal in Illinois; and auto racing, professional sports, and museums near Indianapolis.

This month’s issue also features an in-depth look at Chicago’s charter schools. Find out who runs these schools, how their curriculum differs from traditional public schools, and if they are increasing students’ chances for success.
