Not For Tourists produce incredibly useful city guides for people who, um, aren't tourists. They just launched a Chicago guide and if you want to know where stuff like banks, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc are and not just the landmarks and touristy stuff this is the guide for you.

The entire guide is available for download in pdf form from the website for free (registration required) but you can buy a nicely bound version of this online or in Borders for a nominal fee.
