😂😂😂 build up for that summer then show us that ice hahaha. Wow did not know Chicago is cold for 9 months of the year. Transport n housing seems pretty easy and affordable though. Which is awesome. Love the diversity of people and food too! Awesome city sold on coming (in summer) 😂
9 months guys!! It's crazy! But we make it work. There's a lot of fun stuff to keep us entertained. Haha So glad you enjoyed it!
read an article about housing prices in major metropolitan areas and chicago was deemed to be the least expensive on average
The wind... it's no joke. Makes everything feel colder than it actually is.
The real question is why do we stay here when its brutal horrific deadly summers are endless!!! Sadly winter comes and goes in the blink of an eye if you can all what we get a winter!
I pay 850 for a studio apartment in a run down building on the Northside
People move to LA because of the weather. People move to Chicago despite the weather. Nuff said.
Amen!
that's because LA doesn't come close to Chicago in urban amenities.
that's because the weather is literally the only reason people move to LA. If you want to live in a huge Megacity you move to New York or Chicago.
I knew people who came from California to chicago because we have more work over here
The Scribbler not really they are moving to Texas California is expensive
I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and all of these videos talking positively about Chicago make me really happy. Whenever people think about Chicago they think about shootings and gang related things. Im from the south side and im not gonna lie SOME places in the south side aren’t always safe. But places like downtown especially are really good areas!💗💗💗
Amen! We need to highlight more of the positive things! Such a great city!
Jimin Slays me I completely agree I just started school in Kansas and the first thing they talk about is the violence. Our city has it’s downfalls but it’s also amazing. Jimin if you don’t mind me asking what part of the south side as a fellow south-sider.
The City is willing to spend lots of money in the Loop. The South Side?...not so much.
Madison Soich I agree the city had a bad rep but its still an amazing city, im from Gage park :)
Where in downtown? I’m moving and trying to figure out where to live.
I moved from California to Illinois 2 years ago. I hated it with a passion. But then, I moved to Chicago and now I can see myself staying here till retirement. I'm in love with Chicago ❤. Honestly if it wasn't for Chicago and all it has to offer, I would of been on my way back to my small home city in Cali.
So glad to hear that you're doing well here. :-)
Chicago just gives me a different types of feeling ; feeling of home, love, togetherness, warmth- where I don’t feel elsewhere. 💙
Wow that’s a really good description. I grew up in the NYC area. But I lived in Chicago for 2 years. Chicago felt like home right away. I rented a basement on the south side and my landlord and her crew treated me like a brother. They were fascinated by my Jersey accent and fast paced ways. I was intrigued by the fact that Sunday dinner and the holiday season seemed to be very important to many people there I found it refreshing. Yes crime is a problem I won’t to deeply into that except to say NYC and Jersey gun laws are the strictest so it’s more of a deterrent. Even the church and gospel in Chicago seemed ingrained in the culture. Which I believe added to the sense of togetherness. I lived in Morgan Park and was always able to park right in front of the house(new experience). I had great neighbors as well. Most people seemed genuinely happy to meet someone who wanted to move to Chicago and not complain that it wasn’t NYC. I live in Atlanta now but Chicago will always be special to me.
@@ccth22 It was great hearing this!!! Chicago will always be my favorite city. ❤️ happy to know you liked it as well!
"Ahhh! Nothing like the sweet sound of gun shots in the city to make one feel at home."
@@jgbecker24 no one is forcing anyone to stay in Chicago. 🤷🏽♀️☺️
@@riyapatel4729 Uh, cool!
Iam 53 years old I have lived in this great city the whole time and love it.as for the cold and snow yu get use to it.
Finally a video not bashing Chicago. I consider myself well traveled and I’ve lived here my whole life. Having traveled to other cities, you quickly appreciate Chicago. The city is so much cleaner than other cities, the diversity of cuisine, and as far as big cities are concerned definitely the housing. We rent a 4 story townhouse with a 2 car garage, an outdoor space for $2500, we’d never find that in L.A. or NY.
That's a great deal! Glad you enjoyed this video! :-)
True ❤😂😂😂😂😂
I was raised in South Texas and I would MUCH rather live through a Chicago winter compared to a Texas summer. Been in Chicago almost 20 years now. Great video!
Haha Thanks Jonathan! We also lived in Texas, by the way... San Antonio. And the heat is real! Haha
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos oh, don't I know it! I was raised in Goliad.
I grew up in Dallas, but moved to St. Louis in 87. For me, it's easier to deal with the winters in St. Louis than the summers in Dallas. Although, sometimes here in St. Louis it gets over 100, but it only lasts a day or two.
no you would'nt, gets old real quick
Jonathan Wheat we don’t want your republicans view here in Chicago. Lol
I just moved here. My girlfriend got a job here. It’s a scary move for me as a small town kid but I see the potential.
I hear you. We moved here from Memphis so it was a bit scary. Maria got a job and I had to go back to community college for a couple of years, so it was rough. But there are indeed opportunities, so it turned out to be a good decision.
Welcome dj , this is my home town n the history is what I really love. So much history going way back.
You came during the right season.. there are so many great areas/neighborhoods here...wicker park, Logan square, Andersonville just to name a few. Ask around to get the 411..there are lots of street fest during the weekends too..also don’t forget to check out Wrigleyville and a Cubs game💙
I might be moving to Chicago this summer for school. I’m also slightly scared bc I have only lived in small towns
How are you liking it so far?
I lived in Chicago for 35 years. Miss this wonderful city every day, snow, sleet or rain.
I agree chicago always gets a bad reputation, but the city is much more than that, just got to know where to go
Exactly!
Thats mostly every where in the world
True I agree. Live their 25 years. Moved to Texas moving back soon. I can’t stand the south. The heat/humidity is horrible.
Chicago looks like a cool city to live in, Im 20 years old and I look forward to move there when I'm 21 or 22.
It’s nice to see a positive video about Chicago. I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived here my whole life. I have such a love and affection for this whole city, honestly even the “bad” areas. Yes the city does have its issues but I think the media does a good job at making it seem like the entire city is crime ridden and up in flames which is totally not the case lol.
and as I’m writing this you show WOLFY’S!!! That was my favorite place to eat in high school 🥰
This video made me really happy, thank you!
Amen! We also share your love for the city. It is indeed not perfect, but sadly if you type Chicago in Google or UA-cam a lot of the videos are so negative and there's so much positive to show. We've been very happy here for the past 7 years, all struggles aside. We're bias towards Wolfy's, probably because it was our first Chicago hot dog! It's sooo good!
plenty of crime here
read the neighborhood blogs
It actually is the case. Lived all over the world. It's a shit hole. Truly.
We all know the media in Chicago is pathetic
Hey Vanessa, move the west side of Chicago and let your kids go outside and see what happens. You dont know what you are talking about
I appreciate the positivity in this video. I hear too many ppl talk negatively about Chicago and Illinois. I love my state! lol Every state has their problem
That's so true, Michael. Glad you enjoyed the video. We really love our city.
Chicagoans are the best people in the world! Lived the for one year as an exchange student! Loved it so much! Everyone's so nice and helpful, always smiling!
So glad to hear that! Glad you enjoyed your time here. :-)
Except the Chicagoans that murder you
@@omeletpants stupid comments like that would do it.
@@Crackmode119 Chicago becoming the murder capital of the world. Great job liberals
@@omeletpants too bad we couldn’t MAGA in Chicago.
Being in a city where events are happening all the time, often many are free or cheap, is excellent - especially when you're on a budget and young. I miss living there so much!
Hi Adela! That's one of our favorite things for sure!!! :-)
I love seing videos about my hometown. I grew up in one of the western suburbs. Went to high school on the north side. Chicago was an amazing place back then. I left when I turned eighteen. But Chicago will always be home to me.
I use to live in Chicago and I love how easy it is to get around the city with public transportations.
Yes, I totally understand. So nice that you can just relax for a bit on your way to work instead of having to drive.
Sound not not much different then new york
Nice Video ! We live in Chicago since the 90's and simply love it. We have visited San Diego, LA, San Francisco ( and other cities) and they are beautiful and the weather awesome as you know, but Chicago has something that makes you feel good. There is something about the people in Chicago & suburbs, it's about the mentality, personality, etc, that makes you feel good. Every city/state has a unique personality & we are happy here & specially when you experience the season's transitions. Every fall, we driver Northwest to Galena Il, for Pizza and a beer. Spring/ Summer, are very busy with gardening & in the winter you can go slide on the snow hills & stop for Pizza (again) and head home to watch a good movie. CHICAGO te queremos !
Lupita, you're so right about everything you just said. We love making the most of the different seasons too. We live in a very special place. :-) Thanks for stopping by and hope you're having a great week!
It's cold 4 months out of the year, not 9. Nov-Feb. Oct & March can be chilly, but not freezing cold like January or February.
This March would say you’re wrong!
True Chicagoan here. Thank you and good job. I have lived in others cities but I come home, here, Chicago. Pretty spot on my friend. Wolfy's is good. You can find our "Chicago Dog" everywhere. This is an amazing city. Born and raised, you brought a tear to my eye because of the respect. CTA has issues but yeah, better than most. I could go on. Again, thanks.
Hi Mike! So glad you enjoyed it. Completely agree. This is not a perfect city, but we're very glad to call this place home.
Dude said Chicago’s cold 9 months out of the year lol where’s this dude from Miami?
my3stooges , agreed
my3stooges Dec. to March 15th are the uncomfortable months. That's when snow can become a lasting problem, as well as cold streaks. Around St. Patricks Day, it's clear sailing.
I have lived in Chicago for 20+ years, and different states for the last 10 years.
Chicago is freezing for November, December, January, February at the least! That is 4 months right there.
Then it can snow and always foes in March and sometimes in April. If it doesn’t snow in April it is always cloudy and rains about 20+ days in April and May. June starts to get hot but if it snowed in April then June is super rainy. The only months you don’t need a coat is July, August, September but by the end of september it can get low 40s as warmest temp.
So yes he is right. Unless you live in Chicago then you have no idea! So the Miami comment is very ignorant lol
@@randomyoutubeguy6903 40s is comfortable.
From mid April until late October Chicago weather is the best. However, we do have 7 months with below 40 degree weather.
Finally a video that expresses true Chicago life, not ignorant casting of how bad the city is, in reality it's no way near as bad as the media claims. New York actually has a higher crime rate...
Thanks for that comment!
exactly
Both for violent and property crime Chicago is almost double the rate of NYC. So “actually” no.
@@rhejamphi the murder rate is double times in Chicago. But the crime rate is higher in nyc if you think about it.
@@gaming_sportsaaron1365 ya know you don’t actually have to think about this. The statistics are well recorded, classified, and understood. Chicago has almost double crime in every category.
Chicago is my home! Born and raised here. 💜
I’ve lived here all 15 years of my life and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Just love everything about my great city .
Great Video, Nabol. As a Lifetime Chicagoan, it’s always great to see a comparative “newbie’s” take on our city! Welcome - glad you’ve decided to make our town, your new home!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! We're enjoying it very much.
I love Chicago! Especially during Christmas!!
Friendly Vegan yes yes it’s so beautiful around Christmas time
Absolutely!
An incredible city, BEAUTIFUL, and for a big city it is CLEAN and GOOD people.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I bet Chicago is one of the best places to live in. Would love to travel there soon. Dreamt to be there. Thanks for sharing this one to us! Have a great time and let’s stay connected. See you around
Hi Sheila. Come on over. It's a fun city for sure, especially during the summer. :-)
I've lived here for 35 years and there is always something to do even in winter.
So true.
What is there to do ????? Plz tell me lol i been here my whole life and im bored im only 19 lol
I drive to the gym for the steam, hot sauna, and jacuzzi. Nothing exciting if you don't like cold and snow. Hot coffee and tea is top choice. When you see posting of "Winter is coming" on social media sites, you know it is a long 6 - 9 months before it gets better.
In winter, you get to O’Hare and head somewhere warmer🤣
So true ❤😊
Wow beautiful Chicago from the trasport and from the beach ! Many things to see and the river are amazing! Awesome city! More power to you and good luck! Have a great evening
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos you welcome have a great day
I was born and raised in Chicago. I was born in 1960. I got to see so many changes in my beautiful city. I am now retired and live in sunny Puerto Rico. Don't regret it. But I still miss Chicago... sometimes. My favorite in Chicago are the museums of course. Chicago has world class museums.
Hola Rebecca!! That's about the same retirement plan that we have! Haha So cool that you used to live here. This city has so much to offer for sure. We're enjoying it very much.
Chicago my Beautiful Home. Amazing place to live and grow.
Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Me too!
Dudes over hyping the cold. Only really cold like 4 months
May and sept are not cold take it ez 😆
I live here and it’s cold almost 7 months out of year
Best city on earth but the summers are too long and too hot. Fall and winters are great though
Dec to March are cold you are funny lol
@@caliciasmith052488 Not in Chicago. Even my buddy from Florida of all places thought it was not cold
Dude you really captured the city here. Moved to Texas two years ago and I do miss the diversity
What part of Texas?
The cold 9 months of Chicago is killing me, want to move somewhere warm!
Stephanie H the Panhandle. Lots of warm weather here, although you still get a winter as well. Stays around 20 for most of the winter. Only thing I miss about the weather here is the rain. Although the dry heat beats humid IL summers every time for me
Highly considering moving to Chicago June 2021. They have handled the pandemic so well!!! Everyone is so happy and positive despite all the adversity! What a great city.
Chicago was once the best city in America -- shopping at elegant department stores on State Street, seeing top acts at downtown theaters, dozens of wonderful parks, not to mention the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry and the Museum of Natural History, the Art Institute and so many more great places to visit. But in recent decades, crime has surged out of the South Side and the hooligans have even mobbed the upscale shops at the Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue. Home invasions, car jacking and muggings have become common, even in the best North Side neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park. That is why I am now a former Chicagoan.
Great Video..nicely put together. Summers are great here..lots of street fests, concerts, great food and The Chicago Cubs💙
Yay Cubs!!!
Ahhh! MY city! I live in Edgewater and for $925, I get to live right across the street from the BEACH! Yes it's only good for three months out the year, but what a fabulous three months it is! :)
Completely agree. We live in Edgewater too. Best neighborhood! Haha Thanks for stopping by!
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos Nice! Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm glad I found your channel!
Just visited Chicago and yes it’s a wonderful city. Don’t know if I could handle those below 0 days in the winter though. I had a wonderful time at Robie House on the U of Chicago campus. Yes definitely excellent restaurants too.
Maria and Nabol Thanks friends for your focus. Will like to view and read more posts about Chicago and suburbs . Looking forward seeing more of you.
I am originally from Chicago Puerto Rican by birth I love your videos Keep up the Video's they are some of the best i have seen as of yet covering Chicago. 🇵🇷💪😎
Oh thanks, man! Really appreciate it! UA-cam is tough sometimes but we enjoy it. We get to learn more about our city and meet awesome people.
My cousins from LA visited a few years ago and were floored! They commented on things we have that they don't such as the skyline, our vibrant downtown, Lake Shore Drive, boat tours from Navy Pier, parks throughout the city in all neighborhoods, Lake Michigan and the lakefront accessible to everyone - rich and poor. In LA the oceanfront property is taken by the rich people, and poor neighborhoods don't have parks and green space like those in Chicago. Sometimes when you live here you can forget all the positives or take them for granted.
Love the positive video, Chicago is still one of the best cities of the United States. People are just negative and only focus on the bad vs the good.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Best summer city. Couldn't believe the amount of things to do
Totally agree.
Met my husband 20 yrs ago, he's from Chicago. It took 20 yrs to convince me to move! We're now a family of 4 and our 2 boys can't wait! I'm going to miss Cali, but not the boring Valley. 2020 here we come!
Woot woot! Welcome. You'll see that this city feels a lot like home. :-)
Except winters for few months everything is great ☺️
I love Chicago cause I was born and raised there. Although now I live in NYC I visit Gotham city every year to see my family and friends. I love the beaches, museums, restaurants and diversity the city has to offer.
So true! Summers here are especially awesome!
I’ve been in Chicago and it is a amazing city! I love its skyline, everything is perfect, the people, the streets. EVERYTHING
I’m from Mexico but I live in Chicago since I was 7 years and I love it
The best city! I love Chicago.
We live a few hours away, and ask ourselves the same question, except that we don't have all the advantages you list here. Sign us up for the diverse neighborhoods with all the good food! You guys made me hungry!
Love Chicago. I have been 3 times it is really great. I love the lakefront and the 606 trail. A lot of people just come to see the Loop/Mag Mile/Navy Pier but there is so so much more, especially on the South Side, NW areas and far north. Love the Chicago Botanic Garden, Bahai Temple, South Shore Cultural Center , Hyde Park neighborhood, Pilson murals, Humbolt Park, Garfield Park Conservatory I can go on and on....
Absolutely agree. We want to explore the South Side a bit more. That's the only area we don't know as much. Humbolt and Pilsen are some of our favorite areas too... and Devon ave! Lots to cover for sure.
Hyde park is a great neighborhood to explore also Kenwood. Very preserved as far as the architecture going back to the 1890s people made garages out of the old carriage stalls
See, you really explored and I’m happy you weren’t too fearful because contrary to popular belief, there’s so much more than downtown
So many options and so many things to do!
We love being by the water too! It is one of the “must haves” for us to move somewhere.
Yes, we need to be near water!
Seeing all the variety of food makes me so happy! I'm considering moving to Chicago next year and great food options are a must!
Absolutely! Come on over! :-)
You forgot something...Chicago is CLEAN!😉
I live in Northwest Indiana and love to visit the city! I agree with all of your 10 reasons.
Hi Hank! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I love Chicago. Being from Gary Indiana I visited quite often as a kid and adult. Great food, sports, museums...couldn't have said it better.
Hi Keenan! Glad you enjoy the video. We go to Gary quite a bit too. :)
I’m looking at work in Denver, but I’m actually thinking of seeing if my company can move me to Chicago at some point. I love the vitality of the place and I love that the public transportation is so good.
Having public transportation is such a big plus. It makes our lives easier, especially during Winter.
You won't regret it! Love my city!
So many great reasons to live in Chicago! I heard the trains in Chicago are quiet extensive. So convenient! It’s also great that rental is more affordable than cities like LA. Thanks for this video!
Hi Jean! Public transport is actually not that bad. It's $2.50 each way for the bus/ $3 for the train and cheaper if you buy a pass. :-) Having lower rent is nice too. :-)
You shot this so well guys!! Sums up what Chicago is all about!!! I love it!!!
So glad you liked it! We had so much fun putting it together!
Wow Very beautiful City , How I wish I could be there someday
Yes!! Hope you can make it here :-)
I’ve been in Chicago for 15 plus years. My whole childhood. I’m leaving after I graduate from college. Love it but I want something new
Wow I love Chicago
Thanks
What would you say to someone in a California wanting to move to Chicago after graduating from college?
I got to school northern CA close to SF and live with family closer to LA
Oscar Martinez Melchor go for it! Chicago is a wonderful place especially if it’s going to be new to you. Lots of exotic foods you don’t get anywhere else, lots of activities and lost of histories. The food is amazing I’ll find myself traveling back home to Chicago every once and a while for the food. Don’t let the crime discourage you, it’s really only concentrated in one spot, plus there’s crime everywhere. An amazing city but it can also be expensive if you aren’t prepared!
Oscar Martinez Melchor Chicago is way better than Cali you will love it
I left Chicago right after college and after much wandering am in Seattle. But Chicago is still home. I am always amazed when I show my face after years people greet me like I never left.
I miss the food. I am biased. A good Chicago dog. South Side BBQ. Chicken with that hot sauce. Barry's and Giordano's pizza.
No, I don't miss 15 below. I miss WGN since I ditched cable. I miss friends and fam.
And I am proud to call myself a Chicagoan. That will never change.
Thank you so much for sharing J! We love it here too and the food is a big part of it!
I've been in Chicago since I was 1 yrs old and I'm 46 now. Lived in the bay area and in Brooklyn but came back both times. Chitown has so much to offer. Musically, diverse foods, a great art scene, amazing DJs, dope events, so many different cultural neighborhoods.
Completely agree! We love it here.Thanks for stopping by, Jae!
Great Video! Makes me want to move to Chicago.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Great choice! Awesome place. Very well explained! Thanks for sharing this video☆☆☆
Hi Anne!! So glad to have you here! Welcome. Looking forward to more of your videos too!
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos Thank you so much! I have old friends living in CHicago but never have that opportunity to talk about the things I learned from your video. Looking forward for more☆☆☆
Hi both, a super well put together personal vlog on why you love Chicago so much, great stuff! Nice that there are free attractions too and such great transport options! Thanks for sharing guys😀👍💕
Oh! Thank you! free attractions and transport options is a plus for sure :-) Thanks for stopping by!
Great video! I've lived here all my life and visited other cities, nothing compares to Chicago! I frequently love to go downtown and people watch. The lake is another great haunt of mine, no better place to recharge my batteries after a rough week!
Absolutely agree! And so glad you enjoyed the video!
It's hard to find American cities that are this nice with this much fresh water, clean air, and friendly people - especially having a summer that gets warm, winters cold enough to ice skate, and diversity everywhere
I like Chicago and its suburbs because there is no dull moment here simply fun and discoveries to be busy with.
So true, Fran! :-) We need to explore the suburbs more!
Great video guys.....We DO have a beautiful city and its full of great things!!!
Hey Charlie!! Glad you think so! Thanks for stopping by.
Greatest city and skyline on earth..
a melting pot of culture and diversity.. an architecturally significant & extraordinary metropolis..
Absolutely!
(We All 🇺🇸)..Still need a (city )with all around, High Hopes, Faith,Love ,Unique,Diversifying Drive for ,Independent Happiness ! So I believe in you CHICAGO okay! One more heart added to that real american dream...............
Just got back from visiting Chicago, it really is a great city 👍🏽
Hi Mayra! So glad you had a great experience! Where did you go?
I would like to visit your place someday. Thanks for a nice tour.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Y'all seem to live near my neighborhood!!! Love my city and my neighborhood. Chicago transplant from the South here...
Yeahhh! Nice!
I've lived Overseas, on the East Coast, the West Coast and in the South. But there's something about Chicago...something about the people....I've not found elsewhere. There seems to be a humility and a concern for other's feelings...in the fabric of the city. Don't know why. Is it because of their religious back ground? Is it in their varied European and Asian roots? Is it because the "closeness" of city and the people, that by necessity, requires they live in daily contact with so many other human beings.....that MOLDS them into being like that? One of my life's..."great mysteries".
It's a techy/artisty city, ie more lefty-ish people, also a more diverse community (race/ethnically) results in more acceptance (less racism), and that drives you away from more extremist right stuff.
Also just in general: younger communities are typically just more accepting of others.
Among other things.
Chicago's charm beats its cold winter. Plus, it is not terribly cold.
Chicago is so beautiful!! Wow the food looks soooo good! Cold 9 months of the year!!🥶 The culture there looks so beautiful, I’ve always wanted to visit! You guys I loved this video!! It looks so professional! You guys deserve to be on the Food Network!! Keep up the great work! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You're too nice! Thank you so much for the good vibes!
summers here are brutal and never end
That was awesome. I (Aaron) lives in Peoria for 3 years, coldest winters of my life so I can relate to you there. Love the diversity in food in Culture, can’t wait until we visit.
Oh really?! Then, you know! Hahaha Peoria is a pretty cool city. We visit pretty often. Lots of nice little restaurants. So glad you enjoyed the video. Always appreciate the support.
I’ve lived in Chicagoland my whole life, but finally moved to the city proper a couple years ago and I’m not looking back. I’ve visited cities around the country and world and can’t imagine living anywhere else! The Midwest charm, scrappy attitude, concerts, art, diversity, and love here is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I love how we bond over our hate for a whole lotta things (especially our winters) but we unabashedly, unironically love our city.
Absolutely! Haha :-) Chicago for the win!
Y’all should stop complaining about winter and be grateful for distinct seasons! It’s October and the weather is amazing.
Born and raised in chicago. Same neighborhood. Despite its gentrification, it's great here
Which neighborhood ?
xXMr.e doodXx what neighborhood... what is a good affordable neighborhood in Chicago
Yeah if your a racist parasite liberal and love the crime and corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption corruption LMAFO 👍👍👍👍
We used to live somewhere where it was cold 9 months out of the year but it didn't have all the positives that you have so we moved! Wow, the housing is more reasonable than I would have thought! I would say the food alone is a good enough reason to stay! 😄 Having access to cheaper travel is a big one too! That's great the job market is doing well. Free attractions and events are a great plus to a big city. I'm sure you guys are ready for summer and ready to enjoy some of those free outside activities as well as just warm weather! Living somewhere that has a diverse culture is a great plus too. Chicago seems like a great place!
Oh yes! We are so ready for summer! You should see people wearing shorts and sandals when it's still 50 degrees out! Hahaha Overall, it's not a bad place to be. We like it here. Thanks for stopping by!
Love this city so much, thanks for the video!
Hi Lindsay!! So glad you enjoyed it! Same here! The world needs to know!
Aww. I miss this town. We lived in Chicago but now we're in India for work. We're missing home a lot. Thanks for sharing this.
So glad you enjoyed it!
the lake! And the bike friendliness!
Ever since I moved away from Chicago, I am so miserable. Chicago is the best city - I will always love it.
Glad you love it as much as we do!
Love to get shot lol
As a fellow Chicagoan, all i can say is this video is absolutely true!
Agreed I love my city!
Haha Glad you agree!
The food scene is def great. Chicago has hidden gems, we have an endless list of places we want to go eat!
Enjoy that hot dog!
Yes! We've been here for 7 years and are barely scratching the surface. There's so much!
I lived in Chicago for a long time and loved every minute of It GO CUBS !!!!!
Go Cubs!!
What I love most about Chicago is access to mostly anything I need. Whether its stain glass classes or cultural venues like the beautiful Aquarium or Field Museum. Food and of course the Beachs are Great. Parking is highway robbery.....need to talk to the Mayor to change this .
Hahaha We agree with you there!
Love my city. Great reasons to move and love Chicago!

As a frequent visitor for work purposes. Yes! This city has an array of AMAZING restaurants! But..I like the West better. Idk..I feel free out there man. It's magical!
Hahaha We hear you. Texas will always be our backup!
I was born in Chicago and spent some of my childhood here. What I really loved was the lakefront, the Sears Tower and the food. The Chicago style hot dog is the best! No ketchup on a Chicago dog, ever! The neighborhoods are pretty cool too. I miss Chicago, but don’t miss those winters
Haha I hear you! Winters are tough, especially for us coming from an island. :-) Thanks for stopping by, Mike!
NORTHSIDE!!! Lived in uptown west Rogers Park Albany Park and Sauganash and LOVE this side of chicago❤️ you can walk to anything if you wanted to or hop on a bus. I feel spoiled being a Chicagoan VS when I lived in Tennessee for a few months where you needed a car to go everywhere! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Bianca! So glad you enjoyed it.
