I find Chicago most neighborhoods expecially Downtown to be among the Cleanest of Our Large cities,certianly compared to NYC. It has just in a 2 or 3 mile area downtown. Some of the Worlds Great archetecture from each American boom period modern with classics.with Beaches at one end to the north looking like your are in Florida in summer of course.Harbors to the east and Museums respected worldwide. Great Hotels and Restaruants and Clean. Flowers planted showing its green and purhaps the Best shopping street high end in the US. Beaty with modern clean and flowers to walk among.Chicago has blossemed in the last 30yrs and renewed itself. It has become a not just business destination but vacation for the family as travel magazines make light of. It did overcome the period of decay some other cities have not. Of course not all is perfect.
