From Chicago to Miami
Canadian here, formally from Montreal, Toronto and most recently Vancouver moved to suburban Chicago 2 years ago. Now living in Miami. Here's my brief story.
Chicago to me is probably the most under-rated city in North America. I truly loved it! The people, the architecture, the history, a city with a soul and the nicest people anywhere. Some of the best restaurants and patios i've ever been to!
I loved Chicago's laxe attitude towards booze. I loved drinking wine on the riverwalk (with real glasses-gasp!) and it was no big deal. Sign of a mature city.

I lived in Highland Park (25 mi north of downtown). A 'real' main street with non-chain shops and restaurants - truly the quintessential American suburb.

And here I am. In Miami. Interesting place. Need a couple more margaritas to get the whole story. In the meantime, it's been fun
