Look, I grew up in Boston and considered anything west of Charlestown, Massachusetts, Indian Territory (with the exception of Los Angeles). So I haven't been really clear on which of those square big states in the middle of the country are any good. I mean, I have opinions about everything in real estate - including where I don't want to live (California). So to be truthful, I always thought that Chicago or it's subburbs would be cool if, it was on the Ocean.
And recently, I've heard a great deal about Rockford, Illinois. By the way, if you grew up in Boston you may not be aware that most people (for some reason) don't pronounce the "s" in Illinois.
At any rate, as much as people I respect rave about this fine city, I feel compelled to point one thing out. IT SNOWS THERE!! Like seriously, we all live in Florida because of the weather, not in spite of it. Plus we have dolphins, manatees and every sport fish you can imagine on the planet. And the Gulf of Mexico almost reaches 90 degrees in the summer. So there's really no comparison.
At all.
But okay, I'll come to Rockford in the Summer to sightsee and spend a day or two in Chicago. But I'll only stay in homes with air conditioning, and I'm not sure if that's the norm there.........
Wish me luck.
