Hay brother go to the bacon bar best food if u like bacon
Public transit is so underrated. I love being able to get around without a car. Soo much of the city is accessable by transit I always feel like I can go explore, work, or play without having to worry about how to get there.
@@AlanDantes76 I've lived in Chicago for 15 years and I've never had a problem on public transit. Yes, everybody is welcome on the CTA, but overall it is safer than driving. And no, it does not generally smell like piss. Just be careful where you sit. If you aren't sure just don't sit there. Not that hard.
A lot of these remind me of New York.. except for the clean part 😂!
😂😂💀
I am a native Long Islander who now lives in Chicago. Was born in Brooklyn and lived there (Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope) for a few years after getting married.
Having lived in both I prefer Chicago
There’s too many bad stories of Chicago, Sometimes Chicago needs a spotlight of the good stuff. Thanks Luis.
I'm moving to CHI from NYC in June. I'm pumped!
What made you leave NYC if you don't mind me asking?
I came here in 2015. Never been outta work, and always had my own apartment. Never graduated from college either..lol glad i came here instead of NYC. Be blessed and stay humble...love Chicago❤❤
I came back to Chicago from Virginia because of the public transportation and friends. My friend came back, oddly enough, because he couldn't stand the constant 80 degree weather in Hawaii. While it sounds nice, after 2 years, he got tired of it and wanted some cold weather and snow as well. Also, his buddies are here. Oh yeah, and I missed going to Sox games!
Moved to Chicago last August and don’t see myself leaving any time soon.
I moved to Chicago 42 years ago (in 1980) from Indiana. I came for a job. I didn't plan on staying this long, but then I married a Chicagoan, bought a house here, and had a kid here. Even though I'm a country girl at heart, and it took me over 10 years to decide I liked Chicago, I really love it now. We get SO much bad press. I really HATE "Chiraq!" And Chicago is FAR from "the murder capital of the country," but we still can't shake the bad press. Thank you for doing the videos showing the good things about Chicago! You're doing the city a service, and it's appreciated!
Just moved to Chicago for the year and had literally thought that it felt like Gotham waking downtown yesterday 😂. Looking forward to experiencing all of these things this year!
We are moving this year to Chicago, Illinois, to be exact. Hopefully, it will be a smooth transition. I heard and read negative comments about Chicago, but. I think we need to see it ourselves.
My son moved to Chicago 10yrs ago and still loves it. He's my favorite thing to visit. I love River Walk with the different themes between the bridges. I have to visit the Aquarium and Brookfield Zoo on my next visit.
Hey Luis. I like how you focus on the positive aspects of living in our city from a real talk city dweller perspective. Like an ambassador. Btw your hi-tops are dope man ✌️
Moving to Chicago in a month and I CANNOT wait!
Moving to Chicago from Switzerland in a few months. Big thanks for your videos mate ✌️👍👍. London boy touching down soon 🍻🍻
I'm hoping to move to Chicago in August! I really want to live in a big city where I don't have to own a car and there is lots to do! Chicago seems to be more affordable than other big cities with rail/subway systems and it's also the birthplace of my favorite genre of music, House!
I think people are the reason why Chicago is awesome. Everybody is so friendly and helpful..
Love your videos on Chicago! Hoping to move there permanently in 2023 after I finish my masters through Roosevelt University!!
1. Chicago THEATER and IMPROV
2. CULTURE
3. very cool RESTAURANTS AND BARS
Planning a move and have been feeling really worried because we are coming from Singapore where the weather is well ... v different!! This video helped show me (Jenny) how cool it looks there and get me excited ☺️
Luis Gusto no one absolutely no one like you to talk about Chicago everything that you say about 😻 Chicago Chicago food everything wow on point 💯💯💯🌬♥️♥️♥️IT
Thank you so much 💯
Just moved back from San Francisco. And everything you mentioned are the reasons I came back. Nothing like Chi-town 🙏🏻
Hey Luis the 12 reasons you listed why Chicago is a great city is the reason why I like living in Chicago.
Chicago's real estate is relatively affordable for a big city. There is no way I'd be able to afford my condo if it were in NYC or SFO. All I'd be able to buy is a postage stamp sized apartment in any other Alpha city.
#1 reason is walkability: from my condo on Lake Shore Drive I am next to Lincoln Park, a tunnel from North Av Beach, a lakefront walk to downtown. I can walk to grocery stores, nightclubs, El Stops. The bus stops by my front door, or I can walk to more busses on State or Clark. The only real downside is the winter, but that's when I live in SoCal or Mexico. Keep making this great videos. Maybe do one about all the great universities in the city.
Is the summer humidity bearable?
@@Christsoldier__ Most days. But, I'll admit I'm not there now. In Southern California, the hotter it gets, the drier it gets. Today's weather in Long Beach: high of 81, low of 63.
you’re a little girl for being a snowbird
Yes, but I'm a warm little girl walking about on the SoCal beach yesterday in my T-shirt and shorts.@@captainlongjohnson9743
"As for what killed the squirrel.... Well it was probably watching the bears games and deciding it's not worth it"
LOL
Excellent video. I’m moving from Boston to Chicago in the spring. Looking forward to living near the lake.
Great vid man. I left Chicago in 2014 for Miami and not a week goes by when I don’t think about that city. Almost all my greatest memories happened there. Except for all my parking tickets, I’d definitely love to erase those from my memory. 😂
Im graduating from University of Michigan and moving to Chicago in the summer I cant wait to try all the new things
I’m a newbie, moved here in August 2021. I may not have been born here, but I’m proud to live here now. I’m in Lincoln Park too! Your videos have led me to some great eats such as Firecakes, Aloha Eats, Collectivo…. the list goes on. Thanks for your vids!
Happy New Year! I have been missing your videos.
We are planning a trip to Chicago in May and are using your videos for ideas. Thank you so much!
Great work, Luis!
Great video! I loved it!
Literally just left Chicago hours ago. I love it so much that I come back every 6 weeks, I make up excuses just to come back.
Man your editing and video quality has really improved! Keep it up Luis.
I really want to visit Chicago! Thanks for this content!!
Another fantastic, informative and interesting video on my favourite US City- Chicago, loved the piece on the Diversity and Culture. The bit about the Squirrel and the 4 Seasons, that is very true, having experienced them in your great city.
I am planning a trip for October now we can travel again, your knowledge and love for your city are commendable, it is similar to how I feel about Leeds, England 🏴. Maybe it’s time I got it out there, thanks for the inspiration Louis.
Love your content, as you know.
can not thank god enough for chicago's amazing public transport. I moved here 6 months ago, have been watching your videos since a year...and exploring this beautiful city. you've made finding interesting places in Chicago so easy for me. thanks for your videos man!
moving to Chicago in April and looking to live in the Andersonville area! SO EXCITED
It’s a great neighborhood with just about everything you could ever need within walking distance.
Love the architecture, parks and agree with you on how clean the city is.
Your videos keep getting better and better! You hit the nail on the head regarding resenting warm weather . I lived in San Diego for 7 years and got so bored with the same weather. I’m ready to experience all 4 seasons!
Right, I've living in Florida for 6 years now and can't stand the summer again lmao
Great video as always. Since you alluded to it, would love to hear your perspective on the history of affordable housing in Chicago in a future video.
I got admitted to UIC for fall 2023 intake … can’t wait to be a part of such a great city ❤❤❤
Another good video showing why Chi town is a great place to live. Thanks Luis 😊👍
Cleanliness! I've never been, but this is what I hear. I live in Miami, but my family is originally from Boston. I'm researching universities for my son and I think he'd enjoy going to school in Chicago despite the cold weather. It just seems so beautiful and organized.
Love the video! My partner and I came to live in Chicago from Texas 2 years ago and I will say the cold isn’t for me 😅 seasonal depression was something I had never experience and driving in the snow is not something I enjoy. Plus alllll the things you have to pay for here, but I do love summer the summer time here in Chicago! So now I’m counting down the days
#1, the people. Come as a tourist and you will be treated well by locals. We can’t wait to share our favorite spots with you. Make sure you are hungry 😋.
Awesome!!! I will be visiting Chicago for the first time in March cannot wait 😉
Agree. I’m moving from São Paulo to Chicago and the main reasons for choosing this city is the people.
@@cesarlauxen5132 Please bring your food :). Welcome home, and hope your move is easy.
I been visiting Chicago I love it if it wasn’t that cold I would defenetely move there I’m from Los Ángeles so it’s a big weather difference but Chicago it’s a awesome city
Cool video, I love your production standard! Are the aerial/drone shots done by you too? If so, wild they let you use a drone over downtown like that!
I just moved to Chicago and have been driving everywhere!! I was scared at first to try to the transit system here but maybe I'll give it a shot now. I had some pretty horrible experiences using the transit in Miami
Luis, my man! Great to see how much the channel has grown and of course, how sick the content keeps getting!!!
I love Chicago!
Love my city, there is truly no place like it.
Hi Luis! Please make a video about dog-friendly things to do in the city for those of us who are new to Chicago and recent puppy owners!
Love your videos man. Could you suggest the best places to live in Chicago for someone moving to the US for the first time? I'm planning on moving to from Ireland to Chicago in 2024 and would love your insight!
Hey thanks bro! I have a couple of playlists all about Living in Chicago on the channel
Best city in the world 🔥🔥🔥
YAYY ITS MY BIRTHDAYYY🥳🥳
Hello..Great video, pls give an idea about the weather in Chicago during mid April. I'm planning to travel during 2rd week of April this year with family. Which place to stay under 100$ per night?
Thanks
Oh how I miss Chicago!! And you should try other Indonesian food....well it's 28°C/82°F in Indonesia 😁👍🏾
I was born and raised in Chicago. Spent 40 years of my life there. Even though I don’t live there anymore. I will always be a Chicagoan. Go White Sox!
Food and Architecture top categories
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯
Food, atmosphere, people, public transportation etc.
Very dope video. I love our city. My only disagreement with you fam... ForGET this weather....🤣🤣🤣 I'm a lifer too, and hate this ish...
What about all the great parks?
cant wait to move there btw im just wondering if all public transpo can reach even up to south side? coz im gonna be deployed somewhere in grand crossing chicago and im a new immigrant so i still dont have any car when i get there
The Red Line of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) also known as the L, runs all the way south to 95th Street. The Green Line also runs runs to the south side. In addition the Metra which is another train service which connects the suburbs also runs through the south side.
Moving to Chicago because that's where I lived as a kid me and my fiancé
and her son is it good for kids there
Everyone complains about the crime in Chicago but statistically Miami and DC have MUCH higher crime rates and everyone wants to visit / live there. I think Chicago’s crime is extremely over exaggerated.
Chicago is a conservative punching bag
There's this restaurant I want to try in Hollywood, but I have to drive and find parking there :(
What areas look most like manhattan new york? My whole family and I were born in chicago but I didn't live there long and I'm planning to move back in a few years. I really love new york as I've heard it's far more urban but moving than far is a big commitment so I want to find an apartment somewhere that looks like manhattan. I love high rises and big city vibes. I know the loop is the most urban area but how do I live there easily?
Neighborhoods that approximate a part of the Manhattan experience would be: The Loop, Streeterville, The South Loop, Old Town, parts of Lincoln Park, and the West Loop.
Hey Luis I’m debating Chicago or LA for film opportunities (mainly acting). I know LA will have the most out of anywhere else but it is also crazy expensive and I feel it could be harder to move to since I’m not from the West Coast. I don’t know if you can answer this but do you know Chicago has plenty and enough of a network to get you somewhere?
Chicago has big film and tv industry. Lots of people get started here and then move to LA you can do that enjoy both cities
Dear Luis, Chicago is one of my favorite cities. What I like best about Chicago is Lake Michigan. Chicago has a lot to offer, But Chicago is cold this time of year. Chicago in January is cold but pretty.
✨💎✨Luis👑🏆👑Nerissa✨2022✨
🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤
Haha 😂 it’s cold 🥶 in the winter ❄️
What are allergies like there? I live in TX and they are awful! I’ve always wanted to live in Chicago, but y’all’s winters scare this girl from the south lol
They are the worst during change of seasons but in winter not bad at all
