I love Chicago. Like, I want to marry it. It's got delicious
burgers (try the kobe burger - probably my favorite burger ever),
hot dogs, tea cafes with visible brewing rooms in the back and tea-infused eats, aggressive plans for making the city
greener, intriguing
architecture, good shopping (Wicker Park and West Town etc), rivers and lakes, a beach, blues/
jazz clubs.
It's like NYC, but at least 11 times less filthy (this is evidence-based research since every time I am in NYC I get dirty fingernails and black boogers by the end of the day...but not in Chicago!)
and 7 times less crowded. I used to love NYC, and I still hold it dear, but then...I found Chicago and it is my latest love affair. I was also excited thinking there were less hipsters in Chicago, but then I went to Logan Square and that's where they all live apparently.
Anyway. Chicago or bust.

| Bike racks at the subway stations, what a novel idea (DC hint hint) |
