You’d have to chloroform me, stick me in a sack, shove me in the trunk and drive me to Chicago these days.
It used to be a fun place to visit - the museums, shopping, theater, restaurants, Rush Street and such are top notch and all used to be SAFE. But to live there, now?
Nope. Nope. Nope! :)
Well, ok ... if you insist!
Wish the guy good luck finding any of those nice little shops open before his “year” ends.
I don’t know how it is today but when I was growing up
there a lot of people had two cars. A regular car, and a
winter car. The winter car was an old beater with rusted
out quarter panels, snow tires, and a good heater.
I lived in the Chicago area and Chicago for the first 28 years of my life. For these last 31 plus years I’ve lived in a semi-rural area of E TN about 22 mmi. from Downtown Knoxville on two semi-wooded acres. Best place I’ve ever lived; indeed so good (AND REPUBLICAN) that I’d gladly pay NOT to be given an all expenses paid first class trip to Shitcago.
