I love Chicago. I grew up in Ravenswood, but have been living in another country for some time now. I'm very proud to see that it does no longer have to compete with NY. It's officially a city that has become world known for its different vibe, which is simply different than NY. Well done to everyone who lives their. Keep making it an even more brilliant place.
