I'm glad you liked what you experienced in Chicago. There is the best and the worst of the world here, IMHO. And even after half a century of roaming (I was on the buses by myself when I was 6 years old going from end to end on Western Avenue- something that is probably against the law for a common practice now) I still discover new aspects. Interesting- yes always for tourists, and with its birth exactly when it occurred-Chicago has old and enchantingly modern combinations that you just will not find anywhere else. It truly is the city of the century.

If Chicagoland weather was better, I think it would be the prime modern city- and the mix of its people is IMHO, no less stunning either. I hope they can get some control back, so that it doesn't implode within the economics it has been experiencing for the last 15 or so years.

Come on back in Spring or Fall for the best experience.
