There's some parts of Illinois I wouldn't even want to set foot in. Scary.

Surprisingly, the city of Chicago is a great place to visit and quite safe. It's beautiful, interesting, friendly, cultural and has great food and entertainment. Nothing beats the sight of the Greco-style museums and the marinas along the lake front on a bright sunny summer day.

Chicago is a fantastic vacation center.....and the city thrives despite the Daley machine lineage. Guess it's midwestern hard work and the bracing (ouch) winters, LOL.

Chicago is one of my favorite cities to visit....We love the Museums and the shopping in Old Town.....Also the view fromthe top of Sear's tower.....It is a beautiful city. ANd yes I feel perfectly safe....We can take the train up and not even worry about driving.

You forgot to mention that Chicago once had a professional football team.
