[quote=Anonymous]Chicago is fantastic.  Why not go and if you hate it after 2 yrs, come back.  Chicago is vibrant, has fabulous restaurants, fun things to do, the lakeshore is fantastic and beautiful, lots of very active people out jogging and biking, lots of walkable areas with little shops (much less of that here).  Fun, more laid back, people are friendlier and less achievement obsessed (but still some great universities there and lots of culture).  Houses in the city tend to be 2-3 flats (i.e. 2-3 unit condo buildings) but can be very pretty.  I lived there for 10 yrs and do not recall grey skies from Oct to March.  Yes, it gets cold and sometimes grey, but you have sunny days at least intermittently throughout the year.  I've lived in the northwest where it's grey for 8+ months and there are not even full weeks in Chicago like that.  While summer here is a nightmare of heat and humidity, Chicago is quite pleasant by comparison.  I don't recall as many mosquitos there but then again, I did not live in the suburbs.  I personally much prefer Chicago to this area for many reasons.  Housing is cheaper there too.  Good luck![/quote]
