Just curious.

I currently live in the way north burbs, but I did live in and around the city my entire life. The nightlife is great, there is always something going on and something to do from clubs, to local taverns to great dining. It"s said one could eat out every night for a year and still not hit all of Chicago's great restaurants. I suppose there are some more cultural things to do to like museums, art exhibits and ballet and stuff if your into that. There are also tons of concerts and live shows as well.

Solo racing wise, it's great. There are four major autocross clubs between Milwaukee and Chicago. BTW, from downtown Chicago it's possible to make it to Milwaukee in about 2 hours (Keep in mind 1hr 15 mins is spent just getting out of chicagoland). So we get to race at Miller Park Milwaukee and at Route 66 in Joliet (about 1 hr 15 mins outside of Chicago). If you are into drag racing or oval racing, Rt 66 has both of those covered. If you like road racing, then it's possible to day trip up to Road America. There is also racing at black hawk farms, which is near the il/wi boarder. So there's some things to be desired in the Road Race scene.

Housing cost on the other hand are crazy. One can easily spend $1.0M on a condo downtown. However I think the average home price is probably somewhere around $350.000. I'm sure there are internet sites with that info.

Seeing that you are from Canada, the winters will seem warm and the summers unbearably hot and humid. LOL (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Are you thinking of moving here?
