Just got back from my trip to Chicago and wow I really enjoyed the vibe there. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it's so different! The cta was so convenient (even though the ticket machines wouldn't take any of my cards so I couldn't buy a day pass). The architecture was really interesting and the locals were pretty friendly. I would like to return and spend more time exploring, as I only had one day proper to spend in the city.
Back home now and we're starting a cold snap and the heat in my building still hasn't been turned on. I feel like I'm in a Dickens novel huddling over my desk and blowing on my fingers to thaw them.
Glad you enjoyed Chicago! It get a lot of bad press, sometimes not without reason, but it's a great city.
