I was born/raised in LA, and live in SD.
I've been to many places around the US and in Asia, but really, there is one place where I'd be glad to call a 2nd home (more like spring/summer home rofl...snow! nooo! no snow!! haha).
And that is Chicago.
My brother lives in Chicago, so this labor day weekend, was my fourth time visiting this beautiful city.
One thing that stands out like insane is the people. I've never encountered a large group of such nice and down-to-earth people anywhere.
Why are you guys so nice? Why are you guys so real? Man, come to LA, and you'd be sick of the intense poser-ism within minutes.. but I love LA. I can't help it. Well, I love SD more..haha. SD isn't that bad though, hehe. ya, so you people coming to CA, come to SD! SF is too..well, you know. LA is too poserific.
You guys have such a small-town feel for such a huge huge town. I went to the summer fireworks thing tonight out on the lake. That is so cool to have the a city-wide event to celebrate summer.
You guys have that tastes of Chicago thing as well. Of course, SD has its events, but most everyone has their own events amongst their own circles. I think it's so cool to have city-wide events with that small-town feel to it.
I may have been brainwashed by the nice weather Chicago has been getting this weekend, but hell..I'm addicted to the people already. This place is just like SD (people-wise) minus the weather.
The city's skyline from the lake is one of the most stunning skylines in the world IMO.
Usually when I walk the streets of downtown LA or NY or Philly, I feel a bit apprehensive. In Chicago, for some reason, I don't feel as threatened. Of course that is not to say that Chicago is not devoid of crime, but I just love the vibe this city gives off.
But ya... If I ever can afford a summer home, it'll be in Chicago. (Illinois sucks still though. Only Chicago is Illinois' saving grace. One thing though...it's tooo flat!!! gaah!!! why!!)
Everytime I would touch down in SD, I would smile like INSANE because i'd be so glad that I am back home to my lovely SD. But now, this being my 4th time i'll leave Chicago on tuesday morning, I will be sad to leave. This will be the first time I'll feel this way. I guess 4th time's a charm. I never felt that way for any place in the US.
