GDT 5/14 Cubs Hosting Braves 2:20 EST

I didn't mind the winters; it was the short, intensely-humid summers that got me—gross reminders of my youth in Dixie, where the wet air was an omnipresent sore. But those beautiful, pristine, crystal-clear days—whether in Autumn, Winter, or Spring—were unmatched, likely in part because of their relative scarcity.

Meanwhile, Chicago's not congested at all if you don't drive. While it could always be better, CTA is in pretty good shape (especially relative to NYC's system), and has plenty of 24-hour options; the joys of being able to get anywhere without a car, at pretty much any time (and at any BAC)—for me, at least—far outweighs the minor conveniences of owning wheels.

Risky Business was Chicago Transit right?
 
decent bit. was walking down 6th a few months ago and it was filthier than ever but i dont care about that.

Give me the NYC culture over a bunch of white Midwesterners any day.

Art, architecture, food, interesting people, economy, symbolism- NYC is unrivaled in those regards.

Chicago actually has a lower-percentage of non-hispanic whites than NYC (31.7% v 33%). You're obviously very unfamiliar with Chicago if you think its culture is "a bunch of white Midwesterners"; it's not like it's Davenport, Iowa.

Food's better in Chicago, too.
