Chicago, My Kind of Town
A recent worldwide study of city residents around the world concluded that Chicagoans are more satisfied with their home town than the flashier global icons of New York, Paris, Sydney and all 14 other cities they interviewed! Reasons cited included the ease of lifestyle, Lake Michigan, being close to nature, and the rush of festivals and activities across the city. Check out the full story here.
One more notch in the belt for the city as it gets ready for the Olympics in 2016!
Frank Sinatra’s “My Kind of Town” (listen to it here)
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, chicago is
Calling me home, chicago is
Why I just brim like a cloud
Its my kind of town
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz
And each time I leave, chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is
The wrigley building, chicago is
The union stockyard, chicago is
One town that wont let you down
Its my kind of town
Sean, 
Pun intended.
