I love Chicago, but I don't believe that it deserves to be called the best place to live. There are several other cities I'd place before my home.
They all happen to be in Italy, too

ROFLMAO!!! Id say by 8 central time we will have a posting by one of them. Chicago though is a great city for anyone. Good corporations call Chicago home. Plenty to do. You definitely will see 4 seasons. Couple sports teams. What more could you ask for

I've only experienced two seasons, winter and summer! I love Chicago, but I think it was a shameless Olympic plug, especially when you look at the competition.

Yeah, usually you do unless Chicago actually comes up on top. Surprised? Not really.
Chicago tops most of list as the most miserable place to live with tasteless greasy food and culture that it is defined by the three truly national media outlets located in Chicago: Oprah, Springer and Playboy.
You can continue to kid yourself but there is nothing cosmopolitan about Chicago, not a single international cultural event takes place in this city.
It's a great place if you think culture is bars and clubs but other than this does not offer anything besides few museums and mediocre theater. Chicago is culturally stagnant devoid of presence of any cultural icons.
Unlike New York or LA there is no single aspect of cultural life that Chicago is leading in, there is no truly national or international impact.
Now go jump up because of that Mens.com ranking and the fact that you live in such a great, vibrant and colorful city.
