I lived in Chicago from 2012 until 2020 and those were my prime years in 20s and 30s I absolutely loved living there. Its an amazing city. the Urban beauty the cleaninless the nostalgia for me is just intense. I live in Los Angeles now and have every intention to moving back at some point in the future. I have lived in many cities including Philadelphia, Lansing, Cary, Seattle, LA but this is the only city I have emotional connection with. I just dont like the long winters as it limits the use of my cars which I love other than that I love it!

I love Chicago because I don’t want to own a car! Like you, I want to move back. The best time I’ve ever had was in Chicago. Are you at all concerned about how crime is happening all over? Some people downplay it but I don’t know…

Christmas is not a holiday in the Bible that dealt with Christ. It was celebrated 500+ years before Christ was born! That’s why the real Israelites don’t celebrate Christmas.
