I think of the entire government being corrupt, and hundreds of ghetto low class black people continually proving all the gun controls laws in the world are useless.
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.
I'm not. Take a look at the dozen people that get shot on an average weekend, you won't find many whites. Ghetto gangbangers who happen to be black. The world is better off without them.
I was trying very hard to come up with something good about Chicago but the only thing that I could think of was Portillos - and then I remembered that there is a Portillos here in southern California.
I don't need to go all the way to Chicago to get a good italian Beef.
Chicago is an amazing example of history. Around 1830 it was a desolate place with population of 200. By 1887 it was about 800,000 pop. The city was jacked up out of the mud using innovative technology around 1856. Innovation continued to flow from Chicago with people like Cyrus McCormick.

By around 1980 when I lived there, guns had been virtually banned. I remember my employer recounting how he had bought a handgun at Abercrombie and Fitch in the loop. Around that time, Chicago became the murder capital of the US.
