[quote user="seggiest" post="106064"]Chicago is a great place - I would guess an important reason to leave might be the weather - its soooo cold in the Winter. I remember walking up Michigan Avenue on St Patrick's Day 2005 and having to run across roads as the wind coming off Lake Michigan was so cold.[/quote]
Absolutley the weather! I like to describe Chicago as a "big city with a small town feel". It offers most everything New York or LA have; great food, museums, and just about whatever else the heart desires. Yet one doesn't need to take a sack lunch for the cab ride from one end of town to the other. I can't say that for NY or LA.

 Chicago is Prime and Nice People, Awesome Nightlife, Fantastic Restaurants, Affordable, The Most Beautful Skylines in the World and Culturally Diverse.
All that with cold stimulating 24/7 'T.H.O.', wouldnt trade it for the world....NOT!!!
