Never left Chicago. Ton of shit to do here just winter blows. Think you appreciate summer more when ya suffer through seasons. Last year was brutal here this year not so bad just one crazy Superbowl snow dump. I vacation in Florida every year as most of my family left here a long time ago for the Tampa/Bradenton area. I complain about cold here and my family complains about heat down there so same shit. My uncle actually bought 3 lots in the Knoxville, TN mountains and is building cabins so he could leave Florida in the summer. I could possibly move down there as well as I get older. Weather is nicer down there but it's definitely no Chicago, different lifestyle. Shit looks better cause you're on vacation but once ya move there same thing everywhere has it's advantages/disadvantages.
