There is this vibrancy in the area that is attractive. Your daughter probably was affected by the ambiance and all the tall buildings. It is relatively safe in these areas too. All the gangland nonsense is typically found in the poor ghetto neighborhoods.

Pretty much describes any large city.

I doubt your daughter would have been so impressed with Atlanta, Philly or Indianapolis. Chicago’s no New York or London. But then again, it’s more prestigious and impressive than most. I’m a local who doesn’t really like Chicago. It’s a frustrating place in so many ways. I live in and prefer the suburbs. But I gotta say the downtown here is pretty cool. Especially compared to the Midwest alternatives.
