I lived in both and Chicago rocks! Clean, amazing beaches, festivals, street fairs, business climate, the pedway, architecture, great parks, golf courses at the lakefront, the harbors, bike paths, fishing, volleyball, sports, food, people, Museums, Navy Pier and, of course our skyline is brilliant. Just a kick city and so convenient. NYC has its attributes, great for business, then get out.
I live 1 1/2 hrs from NYC so i know it much better the only times i've been in Illinois is drag racing at Byron dragway,Coles County Dragway and Cordova Dragway Park.
That's cool, but Riverhead is awesome for drag racing! I lived on Strong Island for years, worked in Manhattan, and let me tell you, if you have never been to Chi, lol, you are missing out! I know NYC better than some places out here.
Thats debateable jersey pizza at the Boardwalks makes them all look bad so does sausage and pepers sandwiches and Cheesesteaks far and exceeds what i have had all over an real lemonade NY hasn't a clue!
Yowza, Mrs, nice! I am blocks from Wrigley. Let's just say I love plastering cars with bumper stickers (only friends!)! I am sure you know what they say! ; )
Bottom photo looks like fun with the right person.
