Frank Sinatra called Chicago in a song “My Kind of Town” What would you call it?

I think ChiRaq covers it.

Sorry this happened to this family, but they/she voted for this. I feel bad for the children, but in all reality, all of these kids will be dead within 10-15 years anyway. I know that sounds heartless, but it's verifiably true.

I used to love Chicago, it was probably my favorite city in the nation, but I won't be visiting again until they make some big changes. The violence used to be limited to the south side but now the entire city has gone down the toilet

I always have a great time in Chicago. I live a 2hr drive away from downtown. Not that there aren't problems. But I know areas I can still go and feel safe and have fun. I use to take the train around town... but those days are over. I Uber directly where I need or want to go these days.

Same with me, I avoid the train at all costs now and just relied on Uber the last time I was there

"Chicago" - By Carl Sandburg

Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:

They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys.

And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.

And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger.

Been a couple times. Never cared for it. NYC and SF much better to visit.
