Conclusion on Chicago as good place to live
We are one of the best, if not the best, places for delicious and diverse food. Deep-dish pizza, Italian beef, Indian food, Greek food, Chinese food, Indian food, Ethiopian food, you name it we got it. Great nightlife. If you like to be around people aged 21-35 then Clark Street or Division Street are full of bars and clubs and are a great place to meet people. Cultural diversity. There are so many different nationalities in this city and the surrounding suburbs. It opens your eyes to new cultures and lets you meet new and interesting people. Amazing buildings and architecture make the skyline breathtaking. Adjacent to the lake is Lake Shore and a bike trail where you can see the skyline by bike. Unlike some other cities, we did not cram everything all the way to the coast. There’s a little breathing space, THEN the buildings take over.
Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science + Industry, Art Museum, etc.
Good public transportation system that takes you to virtually all outlets of Chicago. Good for saving gas.In some areas Chicago can be dangerous – but what city of 3 million isn’t?
Weather is pretty awful. On the plus side you get 4 seasons, but winter tends to be 5-6 months, with fall and spring being one month. Summers are usually beautiful but some, like this one in particular, can be too rainy for my tastes.
