I lived in Chicago for many years, its a great city !!!!! I have also spent many winters in Florida.
Soooo (@ 61) I would choose Florida, Chicago is just too cold.
In summary: Chicago - to sow your wild oats Florida - enjoy the warm weather

Ate @ Gino's East close to michigan ave.. While not quite NY Pizza ( heh ), the Deep Dish Pepper Supreme was AMAZING. stayed in the intercontinental hotel area and was right next to the navy pier.

Growing up across the river from NYC i must say Chicago is SO much cleaner then NY. It was refreshing to see public transportation in Chicago like the way I grew up in NJ. You really dont need a car in many instances.

Oh !! Absolutely the north side of Chicago -- locally called 'near north' and the lake (LakeeMichigan) You'll sow more 'wild oats' than you ever knew you had !!!! Chicago is nautical, cultural, artsy, etc. I moved there when I was 21, WHAT FUN !!! Then I got tired of it and moved back home !! Theres always options !

I'd be moving to Florida no matter what my age was. I fell in love with florida when I was ten......
I think there is endless things to do in Florida. I love the ocean, the attractions, many of the towns...I always head for the warmest places. Places with lots of things to do......
So off to Florida I would go......Hi HO ~ Hi HO
