Chicago And Windy City Comparison

I recently spent a few spectacular days in the Windy City. Chicago is home to a few of my favorite things, Italian Beef Sandwiches, The Chicago Bears, and my lovely 97 year old grandmother.

No matter how different two cities may be you can always find similarities if you look hard
