I love the view of the skyline from Lake Michigan.
I love the varied architecture.
I love how it's generally pretty clean for a city.
I love spring and fall in Chicago.

And you?

My first initial attraction to the city was the fact that although it was a large city, it seemed very clean to me and well kept. I loved the sights, smells, and sounds of Michigan Avenue. And most of all, it is seems like a very down to earth city, not as extreme as LA or NY with a bunch of crazies running around...just normal people, baseball fans, and people trying to make a living, etc.

The skyline- After returning from a long vacation and flying around Chicago's skyline reminds me why I love the city so much. I remember taking a road trip to Milwaukee to get away from Chicago for the day. Returning home from my short trip I was so amazed at the beauty of the city.

Summertime- Chicago has a lot of FREE events

I like how the Loop doesn't smell like urine in the summer, unlike Manhattan.

I love how there is actually lots to do downtown, unlike virtually every other city I've been too.

Oh and I love how virtually all neighborhoods are connected by public transportation.
