I want to live in Chicago

Hehe... I don't mind visiting, but any place where I have to listen to traffic reports to know whether I will get somewhere or not is too much for me. I really want out of this whole state, anyways.

Public transportation FTW!

I hear Chicago is a great place to go if you like being shot at.

Depends what part of the city. I walk around my neighborhood and downtown without any worries.

Did I hear right on NBC news the other day that Chicago is now the murder capital of the USA?

I agree with Greg and JAUQO....every major city in the world has a section where you can get shot at or killed in some other way. Maybe those sections are bigger in some cities than others, but it's not like you can find a city that is safe everywhere. Just be smart and keep your wits about you. I'm a pasty white dude. You think I'm going to go rolling through Compton sporting an attitude and trying to pick a fight with someone?

By the way JAUQO....I'm still playing the CD I got from you. Good stuff for any time of the day. I love it! Thanks.

You are more than welcome and I'm glad you like the music.

I've been to Chicago three times and I loved it. Cubs games at Wrigley are very cool, and the restaurants rock.

However, arriving on a plane with the pilot announcing, "the temperature in Chicago is four degrees," puts a damper on me wanting to live there.

I spent five years in the city and it was a fantastic time. I lived in Rogers Park, the last neighborhood before you hit Evanston up north. I was two blocks from the lake and a 30 minute walk (along the lake) to Evanston, which is the home of Northwestern University. Nice campus.

Those were the days. I lived in a two bedroom basement apartment (could have easily been 3 bedrooms, it was huge) and paid $525 a month. That was 15 years ago, though.

Not sure how Rogers Park is anymore, but I still have friends that live up there. Beautiful when I was there. 35 minutes to the Loop (downtown)...
