Is anyone else tired of the incessant polemics against Chicago?
Here’s something contrarian. Chicago is a great city and we have great reasons to live here. There’s a reason 3 million people choose to live where winters can get brutal. There’s a reason modern comedy was born where segregation and crime can be oppressive. There’s a reason business flourishes where the economics can be daunting. There’s a reason we have some of the best schools and medical facilities in the country. There’s a reason we have crazy sports fans even when our teams suck. Chicago spirit is real. We are different from the coastal cities and Chicagoans are different. I finally found something positive in the Trib--an ad, but still. Let’s take a minute to say we are proud of where we live.
