[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is hands down the handsomest city in America, and its wider suburban region is home to a great variety of really nice towns and villages.

The fact that Connecticuters on this board are feeling threatened by this fact is hilarious![/quote]

We’ve always been quite envious of your.... meat packing industry, and enterprise organise crime syndicates.[/quote]g

have you ever been to Chicago?  I am from CT and used to live in NYC, Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities there is. For people who are into the arts/theater, it is an embarrassment of riches - amazing opera, art museums, theater (I would argue better theater than NYC if you want "real" theater and not just a lot of jukebox musicals), great neighborhoods, good music scene (Wilco anyone?), stunning lakefront.  And because COL is low, people aren't working all the time so they can actually enjoy everything the city has to offer. And yes, the suburbs are great too. No location is perfect (I missed having mountains within a days drive when I lived there and winters were brutal), but the city itself is pretty great.[/quote]

We lived in Greenwich and New Canaan for many years and loved it and then my husband got transferred to Chicago. WTF? We have to move to Chicago? Well, we did and other than the long winters it was the best decision we ever made. The towns along the north shore like Winnetka and Lake Forest are beautiful with great public schools. While the city has its problems it is much nicer than NYC and it has all the culture and activities one needs. The lakefront is spectacular and unlike NYC where everyone leaves in the summer, people flock to Chicago in the summer. [/quote]
