It has been the better part of 20 years since I've been to Chi-town, but I enjoyed my visit each time I went, and I hate big cities. The people I met were friendly, and I never once felt threatened in all the time I spent on the streets--and I walked everywhere I went in downtown Chicago (the times I stayed in town, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, at the bend on the river, just down Wacker Drive from the Sears Tower). The closest I came to being uncomfortable was when this dude on Michigan Avenue insisted on shining my boots. He was just trying to sell shoe care products, but I couldn't get him to understand that Justin Apache Bay boots aren't supposed to shine...
