Unlock Message:

"From wolfing down Dat Donuts to strolling through Ping Tom Park to worshipping at the altar of MJ, you've traversed the City of Big Shoulders, checking in at five Chicago hotspots. And by hot, we mean gusty. They don't call it the Windy City for nothing."

Is there anyone to follow?

JR1

Looks like you need to follow Explore Chicago. Just updated the unlock instructions.

CraigBowman

Tested with one of my accounts and I did not have to follow ExploreChicago to get the unlock. I will still list it as one of the unlock steps since they were nice enough to get us a new badge. :)

JR1

Yea I just tested it with out following Explore Chicago and got the badge as well. But as you said might as well give Explore Chicago some extra followers since they did grt another new badge out to us.

I have checked into the first 8 locations on @JR1's list and have not gotten badge. That is why I am asking for the venue which unlocked the badge. Figure 5 locations of known unlock locations would be helpful

RainWave23

I posted a list of venues above as replies to @JR1 first post "Space for future badge updates."

JR1

All of thoes venues were already posted in the Windy City venue list...

Unlock with 5 c/i at Co-Prosperity Sphere :-)

choad17

Thank you @RainWave23

RainWave23

you're welcome

JR1

@choad17 Much like when they first released the Man v Food badge first came out not all the venues they list on their webpage are unlocking this badge yet. All the venues that RainWave listed were already listed in the Venue List taht is posted in teh unlock instructions. You just have to give them time to get all their venues listed correctly so taht they will all unlock the badge.

I did not get the badge with the first 5 venues posted in RainWave23's list. I will just keep going.

Here is a better list of venues: https://foursquare.com/explorechicago/list/the-windy-city-badge I got the badge by checking into venues number 1,3,6,7 and 11.

Great venue list, FYI all of those venues in that list are also listed in the origional venue list posted. But I did add that venue list to the unlock instructions as well.
