| Page Views: 4,480 Last Visit to Chicago: May, 2008 I Used To Live Here | A Great City, Chicago by Gypsystravels - last update: Oct 4, 2008 |
Chicago!! What a city. As a young girl in grade school my parents relocated to a suburb south of Chicago. We lived here for only about 6 months when they decided to move back to New York City. I've visited Chicago often after that, visiting my grandparents and my father's family. Since my grandparents have passed and my father has relocated, the visits are less and few apart, but I still love this vibrant and energetic city.
Chicago is a world class city. Like most large cities in the US, it has it all. From first rate dinning, clubbing, landmarks, museums, shopping, baseball (World Series Champs, the Chicago White Soxs) and of course the world famous Chicago Bulls.
You will never be bored in this city, and if this is a family holiday, there is plenty for the children to enjoy as well.
Oh, one more thing that Chicago has that very few cities can boast, they have a man made beach right on Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes located here in the great USA.
So, what are you waiting for, come and pay a visit to the beautiful city of Chicago, my kinda town!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in Chicago is like living in a lower middle class neighborhood in Central Europe :) Did I meet you at Iberico? | Nemorino Tue Apr 1, 2008 16:08 UTC
Your tips bring back memories, especially the ones on the Field Museum. During my first year on VirtualTourist, my motto was: "It's a beautiful day in Chicago!" | deecat Sun Mar 18, 2007 02:21 UTC
Interesting to note that you lived in the area for 6 months. Love the older photos of you....excellent. Thanks for a grand look at beautiful Chicago. | Faiza-Ifrah Sat Mar 3, 2007 04:47 UTC
