Pretty ballsy comment by this dude from TAG Motorsports...

Chicago is awesome. It’s like a cross between Toronto and new York. Clean, big, history loaded, interesting, personality. Excellent place. And no stench of urine, the official smell of NYC.

Literally or figuratively? Wife and I were planning to head up there next spring; never been. Maybe we’ll opt for Chicago instead.

Literally- NYC smells like urine and hot garbage dumpster juice.

Love Chicago. Great city.

Good to know, Chicago it is.

best true quote ever

Just be aware that the weather in Chicago, even during the first half of spring, can be pretty horrendous. Snow, biting cold and wind, it’s all very possible. If you’re thinking end of May or June, though, you’d stand a better chance of favorable weather. Chicago comes alive in the good weather - it’s a different city in the cold.

check out the Fairmont hotel in Chicago. They often run great deals. I stayed there for $130/night including parking 2 years ago. That was a special they had on. It was about 50-60% off.

Not just home town pride, but my favorite major US city I’ve spent time in. Food, architecture, people, music, history, culture…has it all and does all of it well!

Miss that place! sigh

Don’t forget that Chicago is the murder capital of the nation.

Stay out of a couple city zip codes and no worries…

It is sad really. A highly segregated city for sure. Always has been really.

Damn straight. :wink:

Media makes it seem like a total wasteland. But in reality, the violence is primarily on the south side. The city as a whole is very nice. Unfortunately, there are the neighborhoods concentrated with gangs that enjoy shooting at children and their parents.
