Why is it so hard to find good "Chicago-style" pizza anywhere outside of Chicago? Deep dish pizza is my favorite. I realize it takes longer to make, but I'm willing to wait. Why must I be tortured with pizza toppings on a cracker!

I've been to Chicago a couple of times. Once was a shopping trip, at Christmas time, going in every single store on Michigan avenue.

Another time I was on a greyhound bus trip, going through. I had enough time between buses to take the L to Comisky, where I was one of about 25 people to watch the Sox lose. It was 1/2 price family nite, and I think I got box seats behind home plate. Good times. In my experience, the L is one of the better transit systems supporting a metropolitan city.
