In reply to the discussion: The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site' [View all]CanonRay
(14,101 posts)33. I had to move back for work as an adult
for 18 months, and bought a condo near the lake, and really enjoyed it. I could take the bus to the Cubs games, walk or bike the lakefront, a block from Lincoln Park, even used to bike to work. Great restaurants. It has its charms, but has a pretty seamy side as well, I admit. The art museum and the natural history museum are both terrific.

It is times such as these that ISIS does not seem to be a threat to cause much alarm.
