It’s a fabulous place. Architecture is beautiful. A proper US city. Everything feels very big. People are great. Yes there is crime and that takes the headlines. But like any place you generally have to go find it or be in a bad spot at the wrong time. And maybe not to the same extend but that is also true of every American city. You could make that case just about most major UK cities also. I still have friends there and love to visit when I can.

Yep.

Chicago is a great city, just not in winter when the wind is coming off the lake. It didn't seem to matter how many layers of clothing you wore you'd still be frozen to the core.

Yep.

Nice, I want to eat at that restaurant where Olivia Coleman peels the spuds.
