Although it only accounts for about a third of my life, I originated in the Chicago area and have always thought in the back of my mind that I'd be interested in living there someday. My memories of the city are few and far between but I do fondly remember the Lincoln Park Zoo, Shed Aquarium, DA BULLS, and Lou Malnati's Pizza. Not to mention it's the home of some of my very favorite movies: Adventures in Babysitting, Home Alone, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Primal Fear (check 'em if you haven't already). So it was fun going back this past weekend as an actual adult and being in some familiar places, and some very new ones (including the COOLEST Walgreens in the world).
I think there is a lot to love about Chicago. It's very similar to NYC to me...lots of places to explore, and an energy that's undeniable. Two days was not enough. I was lucky enough to get to see the city from the 80th floor of the Aon building, where one of my friends works. It. Was. Awesome.
How can you not love these views?
If you get a chance to go and hang out in Chicago for a day/week/whateva, I highly suggest you jump on the opportunity. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
