Lived there for a decade and it’s fantastic, I’d even call it underrated as far as us cities go (I work with a lot of international clients and it doesn’t seem to be on people’s lists really compared to New York and LA).

When most people think of Chicago they think of o-block and all the gang violence. It’s a shame. Personally I’ve never been but it seems beautiful from the pictures and videos I’ve seen.

Chicago is a great city. That's why people who live 4 hours outside of Chicago still claim it.

I think that’s because most people not from the area couldn’t name a single other city in the area…
