Only 90 miles from Milwaukee and bustling with big city opportunities, Chicago is appealing in many ways. However, living in a large city can bring serious headaches, like increased financial obligations and more time spent in a vehicle.
Plus, Milwaukee and Chicago have an age-old rivalry that taints many locals' opinion of the Windy City.
However, would you consider moving to Chicago? Do you live in Milwaukee and work in Chicago? Did you used to live in Chicago? This week we want to hear your thoughts on living and / or working in Chicago, so sound-off, Milwaukee!
I lived in Chicago / currently live in Chicago / work in Chicago / would like to live or work in Chicago someday. Chicago offers more jobs and more cultural opportunities than Milwaukee. I love the Windy City. At the very least, Milwaukeeans should take advantage of Chicago's offerings as often as possible. Go Cubs! (or Sox!)
I say “no way” to the Windy City. You couldn't pay me to live in Chicago. I can't stand driving in that city -- there's too much traffic -- as well as too much garbage and stimulation. It's so much easier to live in Milwaukee. Plus, the people are nicer here and we're better drivers.
