1. It is easy to move around when you live in Chicago. Chicago is a city that, for the most part, is a place where you can walk to your intended destination. 2. You have access to a central transportation hub for easy global travel. If you love to travel around the world, then living in Chicago makes a lot of sense. With the access you have to O’Hare International Airport, you can travel nonstop to virtually any destination that you may wish to see one day. 3. Chicago sits on the shores of Lake Michigan. Although Lake Michigan doesn’t provide an ocean beach, this body of water is one the largest of its type in the world. When there are warm summer days in the city, you can take a stroll along the lakefront to cool down whenever you want. 4. The sports culture in Chicago is world-class. Chicago has earned the distinction of being named the Best Sports City in the United States a total of three times by the Sporting News. There are two MLB baseball teams to see (Cubs and White Sox), you can experience the NBA thanks to the Bulls, and hockey is represented by the Blackhawks. The Chicago Bears are the NFL team, where you will still hear about their 1985 Super Bowl win when visiting the bars in the city. Michael Jordan references are everywhere. 5. Chicago is the Midwestern hub for U.S. culture. You can spend weeks touring the various museums that are available in Chicago and never see the same exhibit twice. The variety of different places and opportunities is almost beyond compare in this city compared to other urban centers across the country. You have The Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and the interactive Museum of Science and Industry to go see for starters. There is also the Adler Planetarium, the Chicago History Museum, and the Shedd Aquarium to tour. One of the unique benefit of living in this city is that you really can explore the entire world without ever leaving its borders. Just make sure that you know about whatever admission costs may apply because some locations can be quite expensive.
