No big surprise. Does anyone wonder why?
When my past job required traveling around the country, Chicago was my favorite city to visit.
Great bars, restaurants, food, music, etc. From Jazz & blues to German, and everything else, my off time was great.
But I would not live there for free, due to the corrupt politics!
LoL and you think Chicago’s politics were not at least as corrupt as when you were here in the past? All those things you like are still here with all you liked as before. Lou Malnati’s still tastes great, Greek town will fill you up, and the Chicago Symphony is still the world’s best band. And the Magnificent Mile is still Magnificent.
Compared to the 19th century Chicago is a hotbed of virtue in the corruption department. We haven’t even had an alderman sent to the hoosegow in several years.
