Or visit then if you like some snow :) I'm currently in Seattle and I cannot wait to move back. Fortunately, my girlfriend gradates in 7 months and we are literally counting down the months until then so we can move back.


It's a great city. But there's lots not to like about living in a big city. I find NYC almost incredibly oppressive and confining and crazymaking, but I don't wonder why people love it; I also get why people move out to farms in Minnesota, even though I'd never do that myself.

But you're not allowed to say that "the wind" is why you don't like Chicago.

(Fair warning, I have our city's flag inked on my arm, so I may be a booster).


Yeah I'm not referencing the wind in Chicago but rather the oppressive cold which is worse than most parts of the world with a population larger than x :)


It's about the same as Boston, marginally colder than NYC, and substantially warmer than Montreal. :)

It is a kickass flag, to be fair.


Of course, Chicago's flag is actually a windsock.
