The Windy City

Chicago is a great city! There is so much to do here. If you have any questions feel free to email me I am happy to answer them if I can. I eat out a lot - always trying new restaurants - so if you'd like some dining tips I've got plenty... And I know a lot about the theatre scene - so if you're looking for a good play or theatre company I've got opinions on that too. I lived here for four great years and I still have a lot of friends in Chicago. I try to get back to the city as much as possible and I miss it very much. It's a beautiful city filled with friendly people. If it weren't for the weather I think everyone would want to live here.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great people, great sports, great food, great shopping, great theatre...
  • Cons:The Weather, the weather and THE WEATHER!
  • In a nutshell:Big City with the heart of a small town.

    Airfare to Chicago is cheap, why not come home for Pierogi Fest in July? :-)
