Chicago has a mix of old, gritty, and new...depends on where you are. From the freeway though it looks all old in many places (except the skyline...some is industrial on the south side too) so remember it's different in the different neighborhoods

I'm talking about a city and making a comparison. It's like you meet someone they look good on the outside and then you get to know them and realize they're dumb as **** and suck. I'm saying with a city....you can read into **** all you want but until you visit it and get to know it...you won't know if you like it or not.
