Chicago is a horrible, horrible place.
That's coming from the perspective of a guy who doesn't like big cities much. They're nice to visit but I can't see myself living in one. Maybe in a smaller city like Lexington, KY (been there, done that, it sucks) or Boulder, CO (which I hear is wonderful), but Boston? New York? Los Angeles? Any of the major metro areas seems too impersonal to me. Nothing but Chipotles and Pizza Huts and Cracker Barrels.
