Other activities (was Re: Parking and biking)

A couple of additional ideas, around Oak Park....

Pleasant Home Tour and Oak Park Historical Society: Pleasant Home,
Historical Society of Oak Park and River Forest, Oak Park, IL | Metromix
Chicago

This house/museum is the 1897 masterwork of Arts and Crafts architect
George Washington Maher. Maher was intent ... Though, the historical
society appears to be housed in a separate building now.

And, while not actually in Oak Park the glorious Garfield Park
Conservatory is right off the Green Line L on the way to/from downtown.

On Sundays, there is a brunch at Appellation in Andersonville. The first
Sunday usually features jazz by a musician who is known for being
especially friendly to the LGBT community:

I could see where an evening in Rosemont, perhaps with dinner and a
visit to Zanies comedy club would work:

Zanies Rosemont- The Best in Standup Comedy

I'm not much into casinos, but there is Rivers just down the street,
also, if its anyone's cup of tea, maybe for late night entertainment,
especially:

I am into casinos, and I can say without much disagreement that Rivers stinks!

It's the only casino in that area and it's an incredible captive-audience sellers' market! Very poor odds.

Harrah's Joliet is much better and Horseshoe Hammond is better still. Grand Victoria is, well, there. :)
