Chicago is incredibly underrated, especially compared to the amount of hype that Austin and Miami receive. Don't get me wrong, Austin is cool, but Chicago beats it in so many dimensions (art & culture, events, scenic views, architecture, even music). No city is perfect, though, and I think the best option is to live in multiple throughout the year to experience the best of each. For example, living in Chicago for most of the year but then flying to Miami or SoCal for the winter would be a good combo.

- binarynate 4y agoI've been to Mount Bonnell—does that count, are you thinking further west? The view from Mount Bonnell is definitely beautiful, especially at sunset: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZYPh_5Mkuz https://www.instagram.com/p/CZYPh_5Mkuz And don't get me wrong, I also think the views just from Congress Ave bridge are gorgeous. But to me, (and this is completely subjective) I found I was much more captivated by Chicago's views of Lake Michigan, its skyline, and its architecture. I think part of it is that I love beaches, and Chicago has some really great beaches.
