I live in Chicago, and it is a great place to live, if you can put up with the following qualifications...
1. You like seeing the seasons change. We get a little bit of Spring and Summer and a lot a bit of Autumn and Winter.
2. you like having lots of stuff to do at your fingertips.
3. you like a racially diverse city.
4. you don't mind the smell of dead fish every time you drive past Lake Michigan in the "Spring".
5. you like living by water.
6. you make the money needed to live in a decent area.
7. you love to shop, do the day spa thing, eat out at restaurants, drive in busy traffic, and avoid lots and lots of tourist in the "Summer".
I love living in Chicago. I couldn't imagine living anyplace smaller.
