Ok, not in any particular order.

1. How Chicagoans take such advantage of good weather - when it's warm out, everyone's outside.

2. the numerous festivals and fairs

3. 4th (3rd) of July concert and fireworks (I'll be there this year!)

4. friendly people happy to be there

5. White Hen Pantry

6. looking at the windowns of Carsons and Marshall Fields (sob, I mean Macy's) at Christmas Time.

7. Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and the Art Institute

8. Amazing restaurants

9. Neighborhoods with tons of personality

10. Lake Michigan

I love how motorcycles can park almost anywhere. It's a godsend eight months of the year. The other four months are for Netflix.

Thats not as bad as Phoenix who has been known to put up Christmas lights around Saguaro cacti. Not only does it look corny as hell, but I wonder how much blood gets drawn during the light stringing festivities. OUCH!

Default Why do I like Chicago

....because of Lake Michigan ( with a great view from Evanston), the reasonable prices, the great restaurants, its orderly steet grid, Wrigleyville and Wrigley Field, both the Cubs and the White Sox, Second City, and most of all..the feeling that there's something for everyone here.

And I'm only a well-travelled visitor.
