Last month, my husband, son and I went to Chicago to visit some friends and have a nice vacation. We were really excited to experience a big city, especially one we’ve never been to. We were ready to see all of the sights and all of the great things the city of Chicago had to offer. When we got there, I realized even though I thought I’d grown up in a big, powerful city, it was nothing like Chicago. Chicago is the kind of place where people have a regular Chicago car service they use on a daily basis to get them to and from work.

It’s the kind of place where people pay five thousand dollars a month to park their cars in the city and there is not a man in sight who is not wearing a suit. There are constantly people walking the streets and taxis everywhere. I remember commenting on the fact that I thought Chicago was a very rich city and my friend informed me most of the people who work at his firm are the kind of people who use a Chicago car service or pay five thousand dollars a month to park their car in the city. It made me wish I was the kind of person who could live in a city like this, but when I landed back home, I realized I was where I wanted to be.
