Chicago is a WONDERFUL city and I have loved living here! I grew up in Michigan and have visited many other cities around the U.S.

Most of my friends and colleagues also have wonderful things to say about Chicago.

It's a beautiful city (green space and architecture). Relative to many other large cities, the people are warm and friendly. There's a great job market for folks with advanced degrees.

We have an amazing ivy-league like university (University of Chicago), as well as several other STELLAR colleges and universities.

Arts and culture is very strong here and there are fabulous restaurants.

The weather is intense, yes, but downtown is beautiful at any time of year.

I highly recommend living here. If we leave the city, it will only be for a lower cost of living and to closer to our family.

What a beautiful creamy. pink wall color!! What paint did you use?

good idea!

Have you considered red?

Definitely red- like a cranberry shade. Orange and Lavender are also good ideas, but I like the warmth and boldness of red against the rich brown sofas and cool-colored walls.

YES- This is my favorite entry of all so far.
