Chicago

I'm suburban here ... so not talking strictly about the City but also including the burbs.

Best Pizza in the world by a longshot.
Good Restaurants.
Spring and Fall are both nice.
Lots of good bands come through here
It's right off of Lake Michigan

lots and lots more.
I don't think I'd really want to live anywhere else, except for maybe Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alaska, or UP Michigan, and that's only because I hate the heat of the summer.

 
I was born and raised in Chicago and now live in small town usa. Only thing I miss is the convenience of having a lot of choices for food, both dining-out and grocers/butchers. I can't say that there is anything else I miss.

Wait I miss the eye candy from downtown when summer hits...hehe
 
Because if we did not have Chicago, there would be no one living in either Colorado or Arizona.

Chicago is a great city because you don't have all the jerks of NYC, and don't have all the phonies of LA.
 
The Blues Brothers, Chris Farley, Bill Murray, the Second City Comedy Club, Michael Jordan, Sears Tower, Chicago-style Pizza and Hot Dogs, Cheeseborger Cheeseborger, Mike Ditka, The Super Bowl Shuffle, 16" softball, The 'EL', Al Capone, Mrs. O'Leary's Cow, Lake Shore Drive, Harry Carey, Roger Ebert, and many more . . .

Things to hate: OPRAH!!
 
I live about a half-hour out. And I can honestly say I would like to never go back. Everything good from Chicago has been exported. The hot dogs, the pizza, and I can watch the SOX on TV. I pretty much refuse to go to Chicago anymore unless a trip to Greek Islands is in store.
 
awesome night life
Lounges, clubs and bars are all over the city, in the downtown area and outside as well.

...not that any of you would know what that's like. So i guess I'm just wasting my breath

😉
 
Great food, relatively easy access to a huge airport, nice views, good shopping, and tons of events and concerts.

Once you get past having an enlarged anus from parking/fuel/insurance costs, it isn't half bad.
