In deference to my friends who live in Chicago...
It's a great place to visit, but I would never want to live there.

Wow, I'd never live anywhere else. Chicago is a world class city. Work has offered to promote me sooner if I leave, but I can't do it. Love it here too much!

I could live there as long as it is in the burbs. I wouldn't want to live in the city at all.

I'm the other way, unless I also worked in the suburbs.... granted, at least with a long train ride, you could catch up on news or whatever, that's still probably 2 hours each day. If I could afford to live downtown, I'd live there.

I could live there for a year or two. My answer might change after living through a real winter, though.

I lived there for 10 years, in the parts they don't talk about in the tourism brochures. Chicago sucks. Living in the suburbs is infinitely better.

Just got back from there. Really the only issue I have with the place is traffic - made worse this week by Paramount Studios, who's filming Transformers 3 at the moment.

I will admit there were some great places to eat....ate at Ditka's Steakhouse on Tuesday evening. And when my boss and I were walking upstairs to eat in one of the private rooms with one of our Vendors, we got to the top of stairs and ran in Ditka himself.... Ate at a nice little restaurant downtown called Volare's....great Italian food. Went down to the Navy Pier on Wednesday to watch the fireworks. mmaddog ******** |
