naw...i.stand behind that comment...amd i have worked and studied abroad....visiting New Zealand, Spain, Amsterdamn, Paris, and London.......and i traveled for basketball around the country during college so I habe experienced my fair share of "global cities."......And dude sometimes you may think where you live at sucks simpl because you are used to it....and familiarity breeds contempt.....however Chicago in the summer is one of the best cities to be in the world....beach, music fests, nightlife, restauarants, conventions, etc....Chicago is a good place to be in the summer no doubt.
