Oh my god, the aggressive driving part. You got that right!
I was visiting Chicago for the first time and I witnessed the most aggressive behaviors in my life on the first day (and I come from San Fran, where the Bay Area's traffic is insane with car accidents everyday from crazy drivers.
I stayed around the lakefront close by Navy Pier for around 30 minutes and I stopped counting how many honks and reckless actions occurred at 15. I even saw this driver from the left-turn only lane attempt to get into the 3rd lane at a highway intersection, cutting off the 1st lane and partially blocking the 2nd lane's passageway--I mean, at least he had his signal on! lol. This man was at the limit line, so when the light turned green, everyone was rightfully honking at him incessantly while the 2nd lane tried to swerve around him. Finally, one person paused to let him go but I imagine that he was panicking because he did not budge for a while. Everyone kept endlessly honking at him until he finally got the message a few moments later.
P. S. I thought SF had the most expensive parking rates. Oh boy, I was not expecting Chicago to one-up on that!
Truly entertaining stuff here lol.
Other than driving, I loved visiting the city! This is honestly what I wanted out of a big city. Instead of dull skyscrapers with confusing and non-nature friendly urban planning that throws a random park in the name of conservation like most cities, Chicago blows your expectations out of the water. Its architecture, riverwalk/lake front, and culture is beautiful and I hope I have the chance to visit the city once more.

I grew up in Chicago, North East side within walking distance of Lincoln Park which I escaped to on occasion when playing hooky. As a teenager my friends and I rented horses on Clark Street and rode through the park from the stables as far north as Belmont harbor. When we weren't walking the horses we were flying fast enough to give a cowboy second thoughts about racing us. I absolutely loved Chicago growing up, the best transportation a teenager without a car could have and tons of things to do such as museums, Old Town, skating at Riverview and Riverview Amusement Park. I left for CT in my 20's and haven't been back but miss it so so much. Friends those of you still living there, you are living in the most beautiful city in the world and I thank God it was a part of my youth.

My husband and I got engaged in Chicago on the Clark St. Bridge! We stayed in Des Planes to save on cost and took a shuttle to the train station to get to different areas in Chicago proper. We also walked everywhere from neighborhood to neighborhood. We also accidentally came across a hotdog festival in August which happened to be a huge highlight as well. We never felt unsafe when we were there; just keep your wits and know your neighborhoods! Chicago is definitely one of the best cities in America!

I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical with someone trying to sum up my city, but he's right. I travel quite a bit and thought of moving to other cities, but Chitown is a hard act to follow. But don't try a shot of Malort, you'll thank me for this one. And please heed his warning stay out of the street.

No way would I want to visit such a horrible city. I don't want to see men in underwear with their pants down in a perverted fashion statement. I don't even feel safe in the malls across America any more. Police need to walk the malls and arrest such people, or the malls should be closed.

Nailed it! Born and raised in Chicago and I agree with Leroy below, it's the Sears Tower. Also, don't call it Chi-Town. And in the summer, check out the free concerts in Millennium Park! And damn right Chicago drivers are aggressive!
