It can be the entertainment, the sports teams, the beautiful women, the ocean/lake front, shopping centers, etc. Heck, my city can apply for each one. HA! I would have to say the very best thing about Chicago has got to be the Sports teams. Usually winners in some regard(except for the Cubs) we always have a team in contention. Chicagoans may not get along in such a diverse city but we all come together whenever a team makes a run for a championship, its a beautiful thing.

I agree 100% I love living in a suburb near lake michigan and pretty close to chicago.

ILL is definitly the place to be..Especially when your driving down Lake shore drive going to Soldiers field..it just hits you, you are lucky to be there.

Raleigh, North Carolina (Or the Triangle Area in general)

COLLEGE BASKETBALL!!!! There's nothing like college sports, IMO... This place is on its ear during college basketball season. Most places have maybe one or two teams in the entire state. You've got UNC, dook, and the farmers within a 25-30 area squaring off, and it's just great.

We've also got a proliferation of WGWB (White Girls With Booty) around here, but alas and alack, I'm married, so I can't do anything about it... I saw one this afternoon, when I went to the Dairy Queen while shopping at the outlets in Smithfield.... Talk about stacked...

As far as metro cars go not really, I do believe Toronto is slated to get new trains soon tho. As far as buses go no real changes have been made but there are is a new series on order and it's also the first new order by the TTC for buses in this millenium.

The TTC is still run quite efficiently and there has been little complaint about the service other then pricing for fares.

San Jose, California

There are several good things about living in San Jose:

1. The San Jose Sharks
2. Although San Jose has more people than it's neighbor to the North (San Francisco) it's not as crowded on the roads or sidewalks.
3. It has the lowest crime rate in the U.S. for a city its size.
4. Ethnic diversity (I like it mainly for the different types of foods).
5. Location, location, location. 45 minute drive to San Francisco, Oakland, or Santa Cruz.
