We LOVE Chicago. Living 90 miles away, it is a yearly day-trip for us. Buddy Guy's not only has insanely good blues music, but awesome cuisine. Just using the Red LIne between Wrigley Field & "Comiskey Park" takes you within blocks of almost every possible place you'll want to go. (And it was the kid's first train ride.) Red button hit - glad to support fellow journeyers and storytellers!

Chicago crime is highly concentrated/segregated. It’s interesting how people who have never lived here like to pretend like they know everything about the city, because of what they see in the news. For example, the Chicago downtown are is actually once of the safest places in the city. Most of the violence occurs in specific south and west side neighborhoods.

@vaishx 3 года назад

What I really hate is when they say “well if your city has bad areas it isn’t safe!” No city is 100% safe! Every big city has places to avoid! By making that argument you’re basically saying every city is dangerous! So is Chicago really an exception? Plus, Chicago doesn’t even make the top 10 or 20 most dangerous cities!

I love watching the videos people do on Chicago to see how accurate they are. I've lived in Chicago all my life and know damn near EVERYTING there's to know. I also know when people over exaggerate the truth. Like the weather for example. It breaks around the middle of March. Yes we still have cold days, maybe a light snow and that happens barely in March and April. I'd say Thanksgiving to st. Patrick's day is the coldest weather. After that you're good. You will still need a jacket but it's not teeth chatting nipple burning freezing outside in March and April. If anything it raining a lot or wet an muddy from all the melted snow.

@Clutching.My.Pearls 2 года назад

Great advice. As a native here's a few more suggestions. Take the Wendella river architecture tour, Segway tours, go to Blues on Clark for great music. Ditch the deep dish which is NOT what Chicago is known for, that's a recent invention, instead really enjoy THIN crust at Pat's or Pequods or several other great pizza places. On the L's (elevated trains) travel to our great neighborhoods, have a cocktail or beverage of your choice at the John Hancock 95th, and enjoy the magnificent views!

@CreativeTravelGuide 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips! We will have to check out Pat's on our next visit! 🍕

@jimfischer63 6 месяцев назад

Of course Chicago is known for deep dish pizza. Everyone knows that it is. Chicago also has great thin crust, too, but Chicago is known for deep dish. Also, why do you tell people to visit the neighborhoods (a very good idea), but then tell them to go to the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the Hancock? That's not going out into the neighborhoods.

In October it was cool, we only needed a light jacket! The weather was perfect! A few activities we did was the Gangsters and Ghost Tour(super fun and informative)! The Chicago Sky deck/Willis Tower with beautiful views! 13th Floor Haunted House! River Cruise( super cool in nice weather), Also there is a street kind of like Burbon st in New Orleans if u ever been there near The Chicago Cubs Baseball field I think its Clark Ave! Its alot of bars and restaurants and its very live down that one, long street! Budwiser Brickhouse Tarven and Rizzo's Bar & Inn are great restaurants/bars on Clark to eat and catch live music or a DJ! I hope this help! I'm sure u will enjoy Chicago!

There are places in Chicago where even bad people don't go. Be aware of where you are and what is going on around you. Great things to see stay within the Loop (downtown area) and East to the shoreline. Otherwise not a great place to wander around in. Also visit Oak Park (at the Western border of Chicago) and the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio as well as many homes built by Mr Wright for others, world's largest collection. My opinion

According to Numbeo, it is the 18th most expensive city to live in with the USA, with a Cost of Living index score of 69.01 - hope this helps 😀

I'm not bragging but the food in Chicago is amazing. Violence and crime need to improve though

@kellyanderson7624 3 года назад

That is only in the bad areas. Downtown Chicago is safe. If you're not from here, don't say things you know nothing about

Update. This past year is very high of crime in the city of Chicago. I should know. I live here all my life. Car jackings to masses guns getting into the wrong hands of people. I would think several times before coming here. I would have to say visiting New York City would be safer. though we smell better than New York ever will.

Beautiful! See my music video "Si Se Nota Qué (Dance Edit)" in my RU-vid Channel, it was filmed in Chicago.

@mikefj2004 3 года назад

The video asks what am I looking forward to doing? I’m looking forward to not getting shot or robbed. Other than that, hopefully to have a great time.

Which is better chicago illinois or denver colorado? Which is better to live for immigrants?

@CreativeTravelGuide 3 года назад

It depends what you are looking for and what job opportunities you have! Chicago is a built up and expensive city. Cost of living is higher in Chicago but there are lots of thing to do in both places!
