Blackburn is equally clear and enthusiastic about what the Chicago lifestyle has to offer residents. “Restaurants are the number one draw,” he says. “The eclectic mix of people shines through the food, which includes Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, and African. Dining options are authentic and wide ranging, with several James Beard award-winning restaurants.
Then there are the theaters, including The Second City, where lots of well-known comedians got their first break. Additionally, Chicago’s lakefront location is perfect for boaters and outdoor enthusiasts, who can enjoy all kinds of waterfront activities at its plentiful marinas, beaches and parks,” he says.
