😂😂😂 build up for that summer then show us that ice hahaha. Wow did not know Chicago is cold for 9 months of the year. Transport n housing seems pretty easy and affordable though. Which is awesome. Love the diversity of people and food too! Awesome city sold on coming (in summer) 😂

People move to LA because of the weather. People move to Chicago despite the weather. Nuff said.

I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and all of these videos talking positively about Chicago make me really happy. Whenever people think about Chicago they think about shootings and gang related things. Im from the south side and im not gonna lie SOME places in the south side aren’t always safe. But places like downtown especially are really good areas!💗💗💗

Chicago just gives me a different types of feeling ; feeling of home, love, togetherness, warmth— where I don’t feel elsewhere. 💙

I moved from California to Illinois 2 years ago. I hated it with a passion. But then, I moved to Chicago and now I can see myself staying here till retirement. I'm in love with Chicago ❤. Honestly if it wasn't for Chicago and all it has to offer, I would of been on my way back to my small home city in Cali.

Finally a video not bashing Chicago. I consider myself well traveled and I’ve lived here my whole life. Having traveled to other cities, you quickly appreciate Chicago. The city is so much cleaner than other cities, the diversity of cuisine, and as far as big cities are concerned definitely the housing. We rent a 4 story townhouse with a 2 car garage, an outdoor space for $2500, we’d never find that in L.A. or NY.

I was raised in South Texas and I would MUCH rather live through a Chicago winter compared to a Texas summer. Been in Chicago almost 20 years now. Great video!

Iam 53 years old I have lived in this great city the whole time and love it.as for the cold and snow yu get use to it.

I appreciate the positivity in this video. I hear too many ppl talk negatively about Chicago and Illinois. I love my state! lol Every state has their problem

[vloy]

It’s nice to see a positive video about Chicago. I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived here my whole life. I have such a love and affection for this whole city, honestly even the “bad” areas. Yes the city does have its issues but I think the media does a good job at making it seem like the entire city is crime ridden and up in flames which is totally not the case lol.


and as I’m writing this you show WOLFY’S!!! That was my favorite place to eat in high school 🥰

This video made me really happy, thank you!

I lived in Chicago for 35 years. Miss this wonderful city every day, snow, sleet or rain.

Chicagoans are the best people in the world! Lived the for one year as an exchange student! Loved it so much! Everyone's so nice and helpful, always smiling!

I love seing videos about my hometown. I grew up in one of the western suburbs. Went to high school on the north side. Chicago was an amazing place back then. I left when I turned eighteen. But Chicago will always be home to me.

[MrDjmcconnell]

I just moved here. My girlfriend got a job here. It’s a scary move for me as a small town kid but I see the potential.

[ameridesign]

Chicago looks like a cool city to live in, Im 20 years old and I look forward to move there when I'm 21 or 22.

[DeansTeamChicago]

Great Video, Nabol. As a Lifetime Chicagoan, it’s always great to see a comparative “newbie’s” take on our city! Welcome - glad you’ve decided to make our town, your new home!

[HopefullyAdelaMaybe]

Being in a city where events are happening all the time, often many are free or cheap, is excellent - especially when you're on a budget and young. I miss living there so much!

[miked]

True Chicagoan here. Thank you and good job. I have lived in others cities but I come home, here, Chicago. Pretty spot on my friend. Wolfy's is good. You can find our "Chicago Dog" everywhere. This is an amazing city. Born and raised, you brought a tear to my eye because of the respect. CTA has issues but yeah, better than most. I could go on. Again, thanks.

I love Chicago! Especially during Christmas!!

I use to live in Chicago and I love how easy it is to get around the city with public transportations.
