A formerly great city that is now nothing but a haven for liberals, illegal immigrants, gangs, corrupt politicians and the whiniest residents of any big city in the US. Chicago used to be a tough, blue-collar, gritty, hard-working city, but now it is nothing but a city of sissies and whiners. White people in Chicago try to act tough but the reality is that white neighborhoods in Chicago are comparable to the lamest suburbs. The minority neighborhoods are gang and violence ridden and beyond hope, but all the white Chicago brats pretend they used to live in one of those neighborhoods or know it well. Chicagoans still love those old Saturday Night Live skits about "Da Bulls" and "Da Bears," but there really is no such thing as a Chicago accent anymore unless someone is trying to be cute and forces one out of their mouth. Also, Chicagoans love to talk about "Chicago winters," but most Chicagoans hate the winter and stink at driving in the snow. Honestly, when it snows in Chicago you'd think all the drivers were from Hawaii, that is how poorly Chicagoans drive in the snow. Liberal Democrats have wrecked Chicago but nobody will admit it. Nobody can afford to live there anymore due to the outrageous taxes to pay for all the city's corruption. The only deep-dish pizza you'll ever really see is at a handful of restaurants or on the Travel Channel. Most pizza places in Chicago are run-of-the-mill or local chains comparable to Dominos or Papa John's. Chicagoans think they are tough and conservative, but this is a city that banned goose liver in restaurants, considered starting a safe school for gay kids, banned all smoking in bars, and won't let the residents own a gun. All Chicago residents know that Chicago is basically a Midwest version of San Francisco but they'll never admit it. Yes, it used to be a great city, but it won't be ever again.
Chicago used to be a tough city, but it might as well be known as San Francisco, IL.

A city with too much ego for too little reason. Prone to comparing itself to New York ALL THE TIME, God only knows why. A city that claims to be very cultural but fails to fully support local artists and art scenes. A city that is too spread out, too ethnically divided, too good at hiding its poor, and too proud of it's famous el system to recognize that it is grossly inadequate compared to other cities (like NYC). A city of passive aggressiveness.
That woman with her hood on my rear bumper is acting like its my fault there traffic isn't moving. She acts like she's from Chicago.

An allegedly world-class city with a nice skyline and not much else. Claims to be progressive even though it has a shrinking minority population (due to gentrification) and a notoriously corrupt government. Tries to compete with actual world-class cities such as New York and London, but fails miserably giving it an inferirotiy complex. This causes Chicago residents to lash out at other nearby cities such as Detroit, Milwaukee and St. Louis to justify its existence.
Thanks to Mayor Daley's gentrification kick, I could no longer afford to live in Chicago.

Doesn't offer any more than it's suburbs other then the gay neighborhoods, 4 star restaraunts, and couture. So unless you're rich, gay, or like traffic jams/lame public transportation, live outside chicago.
Very clean for a big city. Almost no litter or vomit. Parking is almost non existant in some areas - prepare to spend 20+ dollars on a garage in some places. The over night rates are horrendous. The parking situation keeps Metra in business. However, Metra doesn't offer trains past midnight until five am so if you want to party in chicago but live 30 minutes away, prepare to pay out the nose.
Second worst traffic in the country. During rush hour, 290 is a parking lot. Travel times will triple, if you're lucky. Even at 3 in the afternoon you will be stuck in traffic.
Lights are located at every other block. If you can drive more than 15 seconds without stopping, that is extremly rare.
LA and NY are too expensive so I'm stuck with Chicago. It's lame, but at least I can afford to eat.

Almost the same as New York, but with nicer people and worse pizza.
People in Chicago won't give a shit if you make eye contact with them, or do something just as harmless, unlike uptight new yorkers.

Years ago famed poet Carl Sandberg wrote of Chicago, "Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky, brawling, City of the Big Shoulders..." Unfortunately the Chicago of today is more the city of small shoulders with it's severely outdated mayor and politics, endless road construction, constant beach closings, it's perpetually losing sports teams, insane parking fees, a losing city mantra - 'The second city', pseudo intellectuals, and a constant stream of boring suburbanites driving boring SUVs.
