Is Chicago the city that sleeps? (house, club, bars)

[lincolnparker]

It seems people just doze off in the winter time, either from watching tv, or eating, or drinking. Is Chicago the city that sleeps in the winter time?

Well, it's 11:30. I really should get to bed. I need to up for work at 6.

Are you serious with this stuff?

[Mamama Mia]

It's called hibernating.

This girl I knew said she would stay in a lot during the winter, but she was lame, so...

Personally I like to go out unless there is a blizzard or everything is iced up.

what, are people in other cities perpetually up 24/7? come on, even people in NYC veg out on cold nights too. maybe Chicago is the city that "needs to get to bed eventually because it has work to do tomorrow and can't afford to hang out at bars, clubs, and house parties all day"

If you don't know the joys of hearing the icy arctic wind howl and rattle your windows at 6am on a Saturday, while you turn over to cuddle with the Designated Body Heat Producer, then I pity you

That being said, I think I've made it clear that I've had some crazy days and crazier nights, but... Sometimes it's February, you look haggard and you just want to die after getting home from work.

Also, winter is prime reading time. I've let weekends and holidays pass just by sitting on the couch with a blanket and a stack of books

I just got home from drinking a few with friends and saw a fair number of people out - not too bad considering it's freakin' Monday night.

Are you from NYC??? Because I am and you can go out any day of the week in the City and there is Tons of traffic and tons of people doing the bar or club thing no matter what time of the year it is. Trust me, I was one of them!

Well if you compare the loop of Chicago to the main part of NYC youll obviously notice a huge difference in traffic at night. Mainly cuz there is next to nothing to do in the loop besides work. Personally I kind of like it when I leave work late and there are only a few people walking around. Or if your ever bored in the summer I love to drive around the city at 2am
