😂😂😂 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) 😂

@ccth22 3 года назад

Wow that’s a really good description. I grew up in the NYC area. But I lived in Chicago for 2 years. Chicago felt like home right away. I rented a basement on the south side and my landlord and her crew treated me like a brother. They were fascinated by my Jersey accent and fast paced ways. I was intrigued by the fact that Sunday dinner and the holiday season seemed to be very important to many people there I found it refreshing. Yes crime is a problem I won’t to deeply into that except to say NYC and Jersey gun laws are the strictest so it’s more of a deterrent. Even the church and gospel in Chicago seemed ingrained in the culture. Which I believe added to the sense of togetherness. I lived in Morgan Park and was always able to park right in front of the house(new experience). I had great neighbors as well. Most people seemed genuinely happy to meet someone who wanted to move to Chicago and not complain that it wasn’t NYC. I live in Atlanta now but Chicago will always be special to me.

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.

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!

@KimchiAndBeansVideos 5 лет назад

Amen! We also share your love for the city. It is indeed not perfect, but sadly if you type Chicago in Google or RU-vid a lot of the videos are so negative and there's so much positive to show. We've been very happy here for the past 7 years, all struggles aside. We're bias towards Wolfy's, probably because it was our first Chicago hot dog! It's sooo good!

Nice Video ! We live in Chicago since the 90's and simply love it. We have visited San Diego, LA, San Francisco ( and other cities) and they are beautiful and the weather awesome as you know, but Chicago has something that makes you feel good. There is something about the people in Chicago & suburbs, it's about the mentality, personality, etc, that makes you feel good. Every city/state has a unique personality & we are happy here & specially when you experience the season's transitions. Every fall, we driver Northwest to Galena Il, for Pizza and a beer. Spring/ Summer, are very busy with gardening & in the winter you can go slide on the snow hills & stop for Pizza (again) and head home to watch a good movie. CHICAGO te queremos !

Chicago was once the best city in America -- shopping at elegant department stores on State Street, seeing top acts at downtown theaters, dozens of wonderful parks, not to mention the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry and the Museum of Natural History, the Art Institute and so many more great places to visit. But in recent decades, crime has surged out of the South Side and the hooligans have even mobbed the upscale shops at the Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue. Home invasions, car jacking and muggings have become common, even in the best North Side neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park. That is why I am now a former Chicagoan.

In LA the oceanfront property is taken by the rich people, and poor neighborhoods don't have parks and green space like those in Chicago.

Just visited Chicago and yes it’s a wonderful city. Don’t know if I could handle those below 0 days in the winter though. I had a wonderful time at Robie House on the U of Chicago campus. Yes definitely excellent restaurants too.

So many options and so many things to do! We love being by the water too! It is one of the “must haves” for us to move somewhere.

We used to live somewhere where it was cold 9 months out of the year but it didn't have all the positives that you have so we moved! Wow, the housing is more reasonable than I would have thought! I would say the food alone is a good enough reason to stay! 😄 Having access to cheaper travel is a big one too! That's great the job market is doing well. Free attractions and events are a great plus to a big city. I'm sure you guys are ready for summer and ready to enjoy some of those free outside activities as well as just warm weather! Living somewhere that has a diverse culture is a great plus too. Chicago seems like a great place!

@KimchiAndBeansVideos 5 лет назад

Oh yes! We are so ready for summer! You should see people wearing shorts and sandals when it's still 50 degrees out! Hahaha Overall, it's not a bad place to be. We like it here. Thanks for stopping by!

I've been in Chicago since I was 1 yrs old and I'm 46 now. Lived in the bay area and in Brooklyn but came back both times. Chitown has so much to offer. Musically, diverse foods, a great art scene, amazing DJs, dope events, so many different cultural neighborhoods.

Moved there for grad school from India in 2016 and stayed there for 6 years. If not for the bitter cold and probably increasing crime post COVID, would have lived there longer. No matter what, it's truly the best city in the world in summer ❤️

@randomyoutubeguy6903 4 года назад

I have lived in Chicago for 20+ years, and different states for the last 10 years. Chicago is freezing for November, December, January, February at the least! That is 4 months right there. Then it can snow and always foes in March and sometimes in April. If it doesn’t snow in April it is always cloudy and rains about 20+ days in April and May. June starts to get hot but if it snowed in April then June is super rainy. The only months you don’t need a coat is July, August, September but by the end of september it can get low 40s as warmest temp. So yes he is right. Unless you live in Chicago then you have no idea! So the Miami comment is very ignorant lol

From mid April until late October Chicago weather is the best. However, we do have 7 months with below 40 degree weather.

@gailbarnes5974 4 года назад

What I love most about Chicago is access to mostly anything I need. Whether its stain glass classes or cultural venues like the beautiful Aquarium or Field Museum. Food and of course the Beachs are Great. Parking is highway robbery.....need to talk to the Mayor to change this .

I’ve lived in Chicagoland my whole life, but finally moved to the city proper a couple years ago and I’m not looking back. I’ve visited cities around the country and world and can’t imagine living anywhere else! The Midwest charm, scrappy attitude, concerts, art, diversity, and love here is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I love how we bond over our hate for a whole lotta things (especially our winters) but we unabashedly, unironically love our city.

Love Chicago. I have been 3 times it is really great. I love the lakefront and the 606 trail. A lot of people just come to see the Loop/Mag Mile/Navy Pier but there is so so much more, especially on the South Side, NW areas and far north. Love the Chicago Botanic Garden, Bahai Temple, South Shore Cultural Center , Hyde Park neighborhood, Pilson murals, Humbolt Park, Garfield Park Conservatory I can go on and on....

@KimchiAndBeansVideos 5 лет назад

Absolutely agree. We want to explore the South Side a bit more. That's the only area we don't know as much. Humbolt and Pilsen are some of our favorite areas too... and Devon ave! Lots to cover for sure.

@sankofaa3000 3 года назад

Hyde park is a great neighborhood to explore also Kenwood. Very preserved as far as the architecture going back to the 1890s people made garages out of the old carriage stalls
