Oh Chicago: the windy city, the city of big shoulders, the second city is always first in my heart. How do I love thee?
The hot dogs and the bike paths! The blues and the theater, the optimism, the casserole-heavy potlucks! The bootleggery, meat-packery, Great Fire-y historical charm! Olmstead and Obama!

"ATTENTION CUSTOMERS: AN INBOUND TRAIN, TOWARD THE LOOP, WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY."
Joy! Rapture! Public transit!
