Reasons why Chicago Rocks

[ken]

Screw you guys. My city rocks.

• White Sox tickets have been holding steady at about $9 a pop.
• I haven't had to go to school all week!
• When Obama's term(s) is over, he'll have a crown waiting for him. Rahm is letting him pick the color.
• The oft-loathed parking-meter takeover has actually lessened parking congestion. There are also fewer ugly cars on the streets because fewer poor people can afford to park.
• Need a full-scale model of the Mars Curiosity? Yeah, we've got one.
• The tourists are not idiots. They've come to Chicago because they've already mastered the cooler cities.
• You think your citizens like premium denim? Ours riot to get it.
• Winter. You guys look like idiots wearing your Wings+Horns sweaters when it's 50°.

I love Chicago - consider it to be my home away from home. I have a different list of reasons though.

Much easier to get around greater Chicago than other big cities - you want Indian, Thai, Mexican and Chinese in NYC? You are looking at 16 hours of driving. Chicago you can hit those neighborhoods in 90 minutes

People dress for te theatre and it's about half price of NYC

Parking is cheap

Walk to the beach

I can fly to brazil, Japan, India, Germany or Cleveland from the same airport.
