[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not really unlike any other city if you don't live in the south side (afflicted area).

It's obviously colder, less "green" in my opinion (trees, etc...) and a bigger city than DC is.

Yes, you can walk. [/quote]

I don't know that it really feels "less green" in more residential neighborhoods--there are a lot of older neighborhoods with single family homes (all those "bungalow" neighborhoods) or townhouses and leafy mature trees.  Downtown feels more like a real big city, concrete jungle and all, but even that has Grant Park and Millennium Park.[/quote]

To be fair, we typically go in the winter and early spring, so I don't often have an opportunity to see it when trees are in bloom but it definitely felt more concrete jungle-y than DC does to me. [/quote]

Sure I'm just saying this is Chicago:[url] https://s3-prod.chicagobusiness.com/chicago-loop.jpg[/url] which I imagine is what most people think of when you say Chicago.

But so is this:[url]https://lifechicago.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/chicago-neighborhoods-suburbs-terminology-10.jpg[/url]

and so on.  And that is just within the city limits, not counting close in suburbs.[/quote]
