What's your most favorite city and why?

My all time favorite city is Chicago. The people are down to earth and friendly, it has the most gorgeous downtown skyline I've ever seen, the only city in the midwest that has beautiful beaches and a beautiful lakefront, alot of culture, diversity, neighborhoods, restaurants, museums and shopping. I only live in southern California, because Chicago is geographical in the wrong place and the winters can be brutal. Otherwise I'd never have left.
