Yes, Chicago in the Summer. Also, Chicago in the Spring and Chicago in the Fall. And since nonpareil is into crosscountry skiing, I can confidently say Chicago in the Winter.
This past Summer, I think I only used my window AC unit for four days. You must have visited during a bad heat wave or something because Chicago is NOT known for bad Summer weather. And, if you do get too hot you can go down to the miles upon miles of lakefront and be comforted by the cool breeze off the lake. Do a search for Chicago in the Summer and you will see how great a place Chicago is to live.
