I think of great architecture, great museums, friendly people, the "L", the loop, deep dish pizza, culture, and tremendous & abundant parks. When you get off the freeways and drive into it you see a beautiful city. The crime and violence everyone loves to babble about is a part of any large city and almost entirely isolated to a few neighborhoods.
Other than my home town, I enjoy Chicago more than any city I have been to, and I have been to many on several continents.
I think that Chicago is one of the great cities of the world.
Agreed.
It's a great city - different from but equal to NYC in my opinion.
