Madgeheads new and old are gearing up for the Material Girl’s arrival in Chicago with nervous energy that would make Mama Madonna proud. To help pad the party, rìthe Chicago Tribune staff raked the city and suburbs for a sampling of Madonna-inspired outings.

Whether you shelled out the big bucks to catch one of her United Center shows or decided to sit this tour out, follow their guide to make this a very Madonna month.
