[@CairaButton]

[@denises9426]

The Pedway was my biggest surprise. Who cares if it gets dark earlier in Chicago when the city lights at night are EVERYTHING! Love your videos Caira!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@yareliscalderonf]

Love this!! I’m planning to move to Chicago this summer and your videos always gets me excited and looking forward to it!!

[@bettyrarick7239]

Loved this video. My son lives in Chicago and I love coming out to visit. I'll be there in April, the first time since Covid. I live in S Jersey and tell everyone how much it reminds me of our beaches. I love the dog beaches, the River Walk. So much fun. Met so many nice people. Joked with my son that I felt like a big girl the first time I took the train from the airport to his neighborhood by myself. Lol.

Great Video about the Great City of Chicago....Thank you so much for the video.

[@tabithadonohue152]

As a west coast girlie, I feel the same way about living on the lake! It’s … an OCEAN 😅

[@carableu]

Lake Michigan is stunning!

[@lilygosuna]

I watched your train video and soooo helpful! And you are right at first I was super nervous going with my kids and mom who were relying on me. But once I got there no issues at all! Did the train, the bus, didn’t get us lost once!

There is income tax but average salary is higher than most big cities so it's a wash in the end. Also, summer is not humid here compared to pretty much any city east of the Rockies--like even just south of here in St Louis it's way hotter and not even close to the South. The sunsets early because we sit on the further most eastern part of Central Time Zone (Nashville has the same sunset time almost as here).

Saw some of my comments featured lol... I posted about the sweet tea and soul food restaurants. I grew up mainly in the south (GA) and crave southern food. When I was in Chicago I looked for restaurants that had soul food menus, but there wasn't much. Love this video and love Chi!🔥

[@xohannahbananaa]

Have you tried Virtue? I haven’t been and it’s definitely more pricey but I’ve been wanting to go. It’s in Hyde Park

[@natanne]

@@xohannahbananaa I've heard of it but never been either. Heard it's really good though!

[@xohannahbananaa]

@@natanne Would you want to try it out together?

[@annamiearnado3191]

[@hippocampina]

My husband and I are moving to Chicago at the end of January, when should we begin applying to units?

[@bonniepwtf]

Never knew the Pedway existed. Surprise, surprise.

[@Pandaluver67899]

**Not every neighborhood requires city stickers! I'm in Ravenswood and we don't need any stickers for street parking

[@jenny71793]

I’ve lived in the south side, little village area for 20+years and a city sticker is mandatory. Residential parking stickers for those who park near busy streets may be required.

[@cherokeeburns2778]

I'm moving to San Antonio Texas, Maria again, bless you

[@TimewithLivi]

OMG parking is soooo annoying especially in river north. I’m trynna get used to it. 😂

[@sheilasimpson7092]

Great content!

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Hi, I’m trying to find a place… I keep clicking on videos where’s there’s too much talking and not enough showing the apartments and price. Please help! And please open the fridge 😂 no one is opening the fridge 😁

[@Zymiful]

For the men… don’t use bumble bff if you’re looking for regular friends. It is not for that at all, lol

[@dharmangbhavsar6032]

Omg not me realizing my old college friends watches your videos because of her comment about the people spray 😂😂

[@TJ6152]

I've been to Chicago many times. It's a beautiful place to visit. Crim^rte is bad. I spell it this way because yt filters out comments like this and sometimes the video creators bla¢k list. I'm from a rural town in West TN and raci$m/crlme is bad here. I've been as$aulted for dating a A. Am. woman for 4 years and treated poorly in TN. Don't do it. I wouldn't move there as a WM because I could seriously get deleted. I literally put up with raci$m my entire life in the south and it's not what the media says. Like it's just a 2019 fbi homo¢ide table search away. They stopped showing the data. I implore people to not be r@cist on any side. I just think people can be bad sometimes. Just move somewhere safe.

[@2736492821]

I have been wondering who those people walk along the train cars? It annoys the hell out of people as I can tell

[@MilaIncomio]

I need help I want to study driving car in driving car in SM.Real.Calam ba City.Laguna,

[@gabbyygabzz-r2k]

💀 why did I type bars.

[@velizadine13]

What about the crime in Chicago ?

[@ThePumpin1]

I disagree about Chicagoans being so friendly. They aren't as a whole.

[@Samsaraindo]

Its also very segregated

[@sierrajohnson7300]

U are both wrong!!! From a true Chicago person!!!

[@ThePumpin1]

@@sierrajohnson7300 No, I am not wrong. I lived in Chicago for five years. My sister lived there 16 years. I think we know what people are like there. Probably you have never left Chicago, so your view is going to be biased. Chicago on the surface is NOT friendly. People seem to always be in a bad mood. Or, they are not trusting of people. Which I understand in big cities you don't know what is going to happen to you. Once people get to know you, they are a little bit better. But overall, they are always in a hurry and are rude.

[@knucklehoagies]

@@ThePumpin1 I agree. I gave Chicago a try and lasted about 9 months before I left. I never understood what people are talking about with the whole "Midwest Friendly" thing. I have not experienced it whatsoever. Chicagoans are rude, in a hurry, and seem very guarded and standoffish.

[@ThePumpin1]

@@knucklehoagies Chicago is an altogether different animal. It may be geographically located in the Midwest, but its attitude is like that of a Northeastern big city. I am not saying it is impossible to make friends there. But I noticed when I lived there, you have to pass the smell test before anyone would even think about calling you a friend. Even then, they still will give you the side eye. I feel the reason why Chicagoans can be guarded is because people seem to always want something from you or are up to no good. There is always someone trying to hustle you. Unless you have a very thick skin, you will not make it there. It is a very competitive city. Don't get me wrong, Chicago is a cool place. But the constant aggressiveness and attitude can wear you out.

[@suspiciouswatermelon7639]

Watched this video while taking a crap and I thought my toilet was making those popping noises! Freaked me out.
