Mr.Jones,Obviously, you haven’t been to Chicago. No offence, just few points.Chicago is the most cleanest and liveable city among the biggest cities of USA.Also, the city is known for its well developed lakefront and office building architecture. Nevertheless, they have their share of gang warfare like any other city.Cheers.
