Ten things I love about Chicago. 1. It's the cleanest city I've ever been in...by far. 2. You can swim right in the city (in Lake Michigan) 3. Art everywhere. 4. Divvy: the city is not only bike friendly but you can rent a bike on every other corner in a city sponsored program. 5. It's a gay town with two gay neighborhoods. 6. House music: while I was there I got to see an exhibit on the history of Chicago house music (the genres birthplace), a live interview with Phuture who invented acid house and got to visit gramophone records which stocks classic house records from Chicago as well as current records from Detroit, Chicago and beyond. I was completely overwhelmed. It took me two visits to figure out what was going on. 7. The spitting sculptures in millennium park with "kids" of ages and colors literally throwing themselves on the ground rolling around in the water. Absolutely joyful to be part of. 8. The weather. I tend to be light sensitive. I probably shouldn't live in LA its too hot. In Chicago it rained and was cool and still there were swimming days. I loved it. 9. The vibe: it wasn't kinda like New York but with less edge to the vibe. People were mellow and nice. Midwesterny? 10: the hot people in the Michigan street shipping zone. Made me miss New York and all the fashion and attitude. Bonus: tons of outdoor events in parks during the summer and the city is so walkable. I love Chicago.
