The Best Cities in the U.S.: 2020 Readers' Choice Awards
Conde Nast ^ | Oct. 6, 2020 | BY VALERIE MARINO

Posted on 10/10/2020 5:51:29 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

It's no wonder Chicago is topping this list again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene, it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start with the downtown—from the Magnificent Mile, ritzy Gold Coast, and funky Old Town, not to mention the business-oriented Loop—but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you'll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you'll find anywhere.

Is this satire?

Chicago is a great place to go if you want to be a target for handgun shooters in the streets.

I used to love to go to Chicago for a long weekend. I won’t set foot in Chicago again!

Wasn’t the magnificent mile destroyed by the BLM looting?!? I thought it was gone, all boarded up and closed.

Conde Nast did rank Hartford’s Bradley International as the 8th best US airport. They are expanding it. Highly underrated...

Any list that has ChiCongo, NYSewer, and D.C. as best anything is a farce.

Carmel and Jackson Hole are the only ones that appeal to me.

I was going to Jackson in the late 50s on our way to visit Grandma and Grandpa. It was a nice town when I was a kid. Now the tourists have ruined it.

Carmel is good especially in the off-season.

Coeur d’Alene is good, too.

While in Chicago you can get a free cardio workout by dodging bullets. Enjoy.

I see Laguna Beach is #4. We used to cut high school to go spearfishing there. Once I was stung by a sculpin I speared. (The sculpin was delicious.)

Conde Nast is a travel magazine. Chicago (the tourist parts) is a great city to visit. And then leave.

That’s exactly how I feel about San Francisco. We loved visiting there. Maddening to realize that it’s a sh!thole now. Really terrible.

To get the full experience, be sure to see Chicago’s “South Side” with a day trip to Gary, IN. You’ll come away with a new appreciation for living.

Beat the crowds by going in January or February when the romantic Lake Michigan wind whips off the Lake.

It use to be great, when I lived there .

Marshall Fields at Christmas, the Berghoff, the Hancock Center. Total enjoyment

They moved from a Daley, let the dead vote corruption, to the a full blow Marxist.

Stationed on Oakland in 74.

All was good. Remote Mexican bars. Chinatown at 2AM. Never had a problem leaving my car or bike on the street overnight when too drunk to drive back.

Daley didn’t take too kindly to dirtbags trying to mess up his city.
