Speaking as a tourist with limited perspective, Chicago is a somewhat great city. I say somewhat cuz I don't have the full experience. I been twice around labor day weekend in 17 and 18. It's a nice city to visit with lots to do and a rich history. Granted that's with me staying mostly around the loop area. I don't know about the southside or any of that craziness or the north areas other than a visit up to see Wrigley. But the main part of the city is nice. Reminds me of a smaller version of New York since I don't think it has as much skyscrapers. The food is incredible. Pizza is great, the hot dogs and Italian sausages are good also. The weather was nice when I went but it did get a bit windy and I know they be suffering like a motherfukker during the winter. The women are decent for the most part but it's a tourist city so the numbers are affected. The subway is decent and convenient but don't expect a luxury train ride. Especially on the red line. I know it's expensive to live but I don't think as bad as like NY and SF. I done seen most of the tourist attractions and got a decent feel for the city, enough that I don't feel like I need to visit anytime soon. But if you haven't gone, I recommend it. Just make sure you go in the summer cuz the winter is a bytch.

Are you originally from there? I remember you saying that you was from Charlotte.

I’ve lived in many places. Lived in Chicago in high school and college. The goat city, except for the winters, the economy hasn’t been good either but when I lived In Chicago I loved it. You’ll never hear me trash Chicago. :yeshrug:

8. Great city with great people I used to go every year as a kid when my stepdad took me since he was a NOI member and I would go a few times myself when I was in the NOI. Family on my stepdad side of the family lives there still. The media always tries to paint the city as a warzone but it's not. Just can't fukk with that winter weather.

8...lived here for close to 4 years.

Weather is shyt, traffic is shyt, random acts of violence are shyt...everything else is fire.

Always something to do, a lot of beautiful women who are receptive...good job opportunities, can fly anywhere in the country in 3 hours.

Dollar for dollar, it's the best city in the country I think.
