It is also home to the second-largest public transportation system in the United States, offering enough bus and rail options that you may not need to own a car. There is also an authorize bike sharing system that you can use in the city. 2. You have access to a central transportation hub for easy global travel. If you love to travel around the world, then living in Chicago makes a lot of sense. With the access you have to O'Hare International Airport, you can travel nonstop to virtually any destination that you may wish to see one day. It is the second-busiest airport in the world, giving you access to regional flights (like Madison, WI) just as easily as you could fly to Tokyo or Prague. 3. Chicago sits on the shores of Lake Michigan. Although Lake Michigan doesn't provide an ocean beach, this body of water is one the largest of its type in the world. When there are warm summer days in the city, you can take a stroll along the lakefront to cool down whenever you want. There are festivals, barbecues, and parties happening throughout the year. Over 30 miles of beach are accessible in the city, with even more available if you have the means to own a boat. 4. The sports culture in Chicago is world-class. Chicago has earned the distinction of being named the Best Sports City in the United States a total of three times by the Sporting News. There are two MLB baseball teams to see (Cubs and White Sox), you can experience the NBA thanks to the Bulls, and hockey is represented by the Blackhawks. The Chicago Bears are the NFL team, where you will still hear about their 1985 Super Bowl win when visiting the bars in the city. Michael Jordan references are everywhere. You can also catch soccer in MLS by going out to Bridgeview to see the Chicago Fire or women's soccer with the Red Stars. 5. Chicago is the Midwestern hub for U.S. culture. You can spend weeks touring the various museums that are available in Chicago and never see the same exhibit twice. The variety of different places and opportunities is almost beyond compare in this city compared to other urban centers across the country. You have The Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and the interactive Museum of Science and Industry to go see for starters. less
