re: OT's thoughts and opinions on Chicago?

It’s not a blue collar working man’s city. If you want to live in a decent area, you need a high paying corporate job. The nice areas are desirable, the shitty areas really shitty. I lived there 20 years and the only thing I really miss is my friends.

If you live in the Burbs, getting to the city for anything, a pro sports game etc is a royal pain in the arse.
