Chi-town or for you out of towners (shy-town) has to be the best city I've ever lived at. Thats all I had to say. BTW who else is from Chicago area??
Chicago, here too!! 'burbs now, but I grew up in the city (South Side
).
I agree, while I'm a native Chicagoan, I've lived in other cities for brief periods of time: New York for three months, Indianapolis for a year. I've also visited most of the big U.S. cities (Vegas, LA, Atlanta) and I can safely say Chicago is the best one out there!! We've got everything LA and NYC have, without all the hype and celebs (they can keep them).
Also, I don't think many Chicagoans realize how good they have it until they leave; I've spent the better part of four years at school in north-central Indiana, and I'm always so happy to come home. The drive up on I-94 is awesome once you get to see that beautiful Chicago skyline.
