No, I wouldnt move here again, I hate the weather. If I live long enough Im retiring somewhere that never sees a single inch of snow.
Crime...I mean youll definitely catch a cap in the ass if you go certain places, but I dont go there. And Im not one to curl into the fetal position every time I read on the internet that some randos died, but I know others are profoundly affected so I can understand why it would be an influence.
Weve got cool sights to see downtown though! My personal favorite is the Museum of Science and Industry, closely followed by the Art Institute of Chicago. Still havent made it over to see The Bean (Cloud Gate).
