[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are gorgeous parks and playgrounds all over the place.  There are amazing activities and events for families and kids.  The museums, events, and shopping are so easy to get to.  The shows, concerts, and games are an easy drive and so many venues to choose from. The roads have grassy islands with actual flowers planted in them!  There’s so much growth and construction going on.  Op, check out the Rust Belt, then come back. [/quote]

We were back recently visiting a friend and had an extra hour to kill so we tried to go to one of these “gorgeous” parks.  There were so many people there wasn’t a parking space!  OP’s point about density really hits for me.  We relocated to the Midwest and we have lots of parks, and a reasonable number of people go to them any given day.  In fact I live next to a park and often it’s just me and my dog walking there.  Lovely!

Also while we are far from the ocean, we are 40 minutes from Lake Michigan which has waves and isn’t salty.[/quote]

I like Chicago, but not sure I could do winters (they need to be short for me with breaks of warm weather in between freezing weather).  If I were a snowbird with FL residence too, this would be great.  Also, not sure how warm Lake Michigan gets and if I would be able to swim there.  I need min 70F water temp and likely warmer. But the city has a legit beautiful waterfront and I’d say it’s as much of a coastal city as any ocean front ones.
