Chicago is the worst city on God's green Earth. God's grey earth, more like.

I agree. I've been fortunate enough to visit many major cities around the world and Chicago would be at or very near the bottom of my favorites list and don't get me started on the airport.

I agree if there's a car involved. I think it's a fun city otherwise, but as a frequent business traveler I'd like to force Chicago to put up a hundred mile long 'people-who-want-nothing-the-f*ck-to-do-with-Chicago' bypass and make all residents of Illinois pay 10 bucks to drive through my ugly, empty state too.

Are you guys high? Chicago is one of the finest cities in the world. There is more culture, events, music and interesting people than 90% of the country.


and Bob.... you're really gonna dog on Chicago's airports when you live in San Fran? That airport can rot in hell.

Oh I don't disagree. I always like it when I visit. It's just that most of the time, Chicago=traffic for miles with no escape and not much else for me. Also everyone there drives 15+over the site limit, which stresses me out considering the entire state is a construction zone and it just seems all the speed limits are lower than they should be just so you have to choose between following traffic and following the law.

You live near NYC, and you are saying that Chicago sucks? Also, I wouldn't dog Chicago's weather when your own is much worse.

That's every big city though. NYC and LA suck to drive in as well. The key is to not drive. The city has great public transportation.

In SFO you can get great sushi and a massage, at O'Hare you can get a layover. Seriously the last five times I've flown through there were all nightmares.

I also hate NYC but I associate much more strongly with Providence and Boston, so I'm not sure it matters. Having lived in New England, South Bend, and Orlando, the New England weather is my favorite and it's not even close.

Yep. Driving through Chicago is just unavoidable for me though. The city's location, size, and perpetual rush hour make it what it is for the trips I need to take every month. I visit Chicago frequently though, and never make the mistake of driving around in the city. I would also still like to charge residents of Illinois to drive through my state.

WTF!!! I'd happily trade any of you spots right now. I'm stuck going to an f'ing wedding of two people only my wife knows. If she wasn't in the dam thing she'd be going it alone and here you all are whining about not being pumped up enough!!! Hope none of you are going to the game with those attitudes.

COME ON BOYS!!!!!!! GO IRISH EAT RICE!!!!

I'm fucking jacked! Too far away! Go FUCKING IRISH!

Edit: I'm least amped about this filter getting in the way of my drunken stupor posting...

It's way too freaking early but I'm on my way to the airport!

Edit: You know you're flying too early when you get to the airport at the same time as the Southwest, TSA, and Dunkin Donuts people.

Michigan you! Michigan you! And Michigan everybody who ain't amped up for 2014 ND football! Heading from Iowa in T-11 hours.

That's the spirit fellas!

I don't know why there is hate on Chicago. Outside of New Orleans, its my favorite American city.

Chicago only sucks when you live on the east or west coasts and your only interaction with it is O'Hare.

I haven't flown in or out of that nightmare in 10 years. Thank goodness for Southwest and Midway airport.

...and after 4 months in LA/OC/SD, I will neeeeever complain about Chicago traffic again.

When it's in the 70's, sunny w/ low humidity, Chicago's the absolute best city in the world. Those are my favorite 5 days every year without doubt. No italics.

Chicago is like every other city. It has its pluses and minuses. Traffic and winter are bad, but it has a lot of things to do. Fun place to visit.
