Chicago only has two seasons, summer and winter. Spring and fall combined last all of a week and a half. One day it's warm and sunny and the next it's brutally cold and snowing.


Nah, we have 4 legit seasons. Fall is gorgeous, actually, and lasts just as long as it should. If you ask me, though... Spring takes for-goddamn-ever to turn into summer. We finally break out of the eternal single-digit days and then get stuck in the 40s-and-rainy mode for another eternity.

But summer, ahh summer. It's all worth it, come June. 🙂

That streak of sub zero weather we had for a couple weeks solid last winter was pretty brutal.:Q
 
I've spent a fair amount of time in Chicago, lived in Cleveland (I list that just because their winters are equally horrible), been to LA a few times and I've "lived" in San Diego for about 2 months recently. LA is too damn and too congested. Chicago has a lot of excellent qualities, but winters are brutal. Cleveland has a lot of great qualities as well, but weather isn't one of them. San Diego weather is beautiful, and imo it has everything that Chicago has to offer and more.

I'd love to live in San Diego at some point, but I'd have to be on/near the coast.

Lets have it in the winter, to avoid all the riff-raf on the forum 😉

lol, i'm actually headed back up there for winter as well.

hah, you will swear you will never go back after experience winter

wuss, it doesn't get that cold

😛

Perfect year round LA weather made me like this!

lol.....everyone I've talked to in LA today has been telling me how unbearably hot it has been

😀

I was actually in Dallas over labor day, but today in Santa Monica it's very pleasant!

Please don't lump East LA and the valley to Los Angeles!

Eh...its the same sprawling mass of concrete 😛

Just kidding, Santa Monica is pretty nice I have to say.

 
I just moved to Atlanta from Chicago... As I see it, Atlanta people are nicer... and it's a better place to live...
 
Chicago & NYC have real city vibes to them. Maybe because of the density & big skyline... however I don't get that same vibe when I'm in west coast cities like LA or San Diego... its different, more sprawl.
 
I love Chicago, and I've always heard good things about San Diego, but now I may have to go visit SD after seeing this (nsfw bikini pics).

Sorry for making you guys drive out to us....the food, drink and company was nice though. 🙂

No problem man, just trying to get our suburbanite residents into the city.😛

It was great to meet you.

My bad, I've been there so long I forgot it needed a signup. In any case, 😎
 
Chicago IS great.. Only big city I've ever been in where the traffic didn't piss me off.

Now I wanna go to Chicago..
 
Good thing you got there before Sunday evening. The people wont be so nice anymore after we whoop their asses Sunday morning. GO CHARGERS!
