Chicago is my favorite big city and the one I know the best so I would also go there.

Lots of good museums there (love the Art Institute and Museum of Science and Technology and the Shedd Aquarium), there is in fact all kinds of good food, even in a midwestern metropolis. I love the L and the metro in general. I've ridden that shit up and down and all around with a few good stories. In the past I've managed to miss good shows there, so I'd like to try and see one. Maybe the thing that carries Chicago over others most of all is the architecture; I'm particularly enamored with it.

Chicago does have greasy rain and too much concrete and noise and cars and grime etc, but it also stinks a lot less than Manhattan, probably because of the weather. I would prefer not to live somewhere with more than a couple hundred thousand people, but if I had to, Chicago would be first among my choices. Maybe it's just a lot of memories.
