Chicago is almost as bad as Juarez.
Seriously?

I was there last month. Middle-aged, female me. All by my lonesome.
Stayed near Michigan Ave.

Felt perfectly safe the entire time. Looking forward to going back for vacation.

People really need to get out more.

Unlike this back and forth garbage weather we have been having? I personally don't care for nyc pizza, I will eat it but it isn't worth more than a couple dollars a slice and I won't wait in line for it.

As for skylines, I have learned in life, a skyline doesn't make the city and and with places like Chicago and New York, it is what happens on the street that make the city, but like NYC, Chicago does have some amazing architecture.
