Chicago is a magical place.

I'm stranded in south Florida right now. It's not bad here. The palm trees grow. The lizards control the insects. The ocean is warm. I love swimming at night and I can do that in our pool the entire year.

But I lived most of my life in Chicago and I want to go back. Despite the terrible winters and the gunfire and the other bad things, I'm sure I will return to the best city in the world someday. Only people who are from there would understand why.
