Blah blah blah...
I don't want to get into the cost of living of Chicago versus everywhere else.
Just move here. Dooooooo iiiiiiiiiit. I meet very few people who don't like Chicago; and personally, I love it. "We" have everything you need: Wiskey, books, bikes, bikes paths, racial diversity, 600 great places to eat (it's possible I can't spell "restaurant"). We have museums, coffee, wiskey, coffee, wiskey, pimps and hoes, and lastly, wiskey. Oh, and coffee.
