The only thing that keeps Chicago afloat is their name. Other than that there is no other reason to be there or do business with Chicago. I'd rather be in Milwaukee if I had to be in that part of the country.
I'd also pay $100 to watch Daley walk through his gun free city at night by himself with no body guards (or guns) or cops. Fucking tool.

If you went just outside the loop, you weren't in the "real" Chicago. You were in the projects.
This may come as a big shock to you, but most cities have them and none of them are nice places to be.
I lived in Chicago for 6 years and if it weren't for the long cold winters, I still would.
