here we gooo... time to see which one of u lives closest to me :p and so on...
i live near Chicago , nw suburbs to be exact...
where do yoooooou live ? *points at you* :rolleyes:
Before I moved out to Naperville, I lived in
Huntington Beach, California. It was... nice, I guess. Didn't have too much money at the time so I wasn't able to appreciate the finer things. Got to live through earthquakes and other fun stuff (Not kidding, earthquakes were a blast. We were watching the news and suddenly the cameras and set started to shake, and the anchor said that everyone around L.A. should get to cover
, like... the L.A. Riots (Man I could've gone out and found MonsE :p His unit was dispatched to uphold martial law with the L.A.P.D. BTW:
Rodney King was GUILTY! Go find the full footage only shown in L.A. He swings at cops, he was so doped up on acid and ^^ that they couldn't even bring him down with tasers, he just pulled them out of him) and O.J. Simpson (
Guilty guilty guilty!)
After about 10 years, moved out to
Naperville, Illinois... god damn, Chicago will always have a special spot in my heart. I've been around and I can safely say it is the only city that has personality. In other cities like Seattle or New York, you walk down the street and have the honking of horns, the panhandlers, etc. It's lifeless. It's dirty and dull.
Chicago, you walk down the street, the slow jazz of a street performer echoeing down the street... the smells of cooking from the Berghoff... the sights, the boats in the lake, the beach, Buckingham Fountain, and the XRT Fire over Chicago fireworks display... The Cubs... man the Cubbies...
I miss it so much
Moved out to
Fort. Collins, Colorado in October. It's a lot like Naperville in just about every aspect, except without Chicago... Denver blows. It's full of bums. Mountains are nice, I guess, but you can't find a decent pizza, a good bratwurst (except the guy selling them in front of Home Depot... they're hand made by some Austrian guy), or the music.
Appreciate Chicago while you still can, I guarentee you'll miss it.
