You're going to need to go to the Secretary of State (equivalent to Cali's DMV). There you'll get your license and also plates with new registration.
Cabrini Green, eh? Not far from Old Town, Gold Coast, downtown, Wicker Park.... Lots of stuff to do around there. There's still some spots of shadiness in CG though, even after they've brought down the high rises, so be mindful of your surroundings.
You're going to need to bring some extra stuff to get your license. From the SoS page:

I will be working in/moving to Illinois. How do I obtain a driver's license in your state?
Drivers moving to Illinois may use their valid driver's license from their home state or country for 90 days. You may obtain an Illinois driver's license or identification card only if you are becoming a legal resident of Illinois. If you have a valid driver's license from another state or country, you may use it to drive in Illinois throughout your stay, if you do not plan to become a permanent resident of this state. Illinois does not recognize the international driver's license. To receive an Illinois driver's license or ID card, you must provide acceptable identification to prove name, date of birth, Illinois residency, Social Security Number and your signature for comparison. For examples, please refer to the complete list of acceptable documentation.
To obtain an Illinois driver's license, you must successfully complete a vision screening, written examination and possibly a driving examination. The fee for an Illinois driver's license is $30 and is valid for four years. The fee for an Illinois ID card is $20 and is valid for five years.
