From the water you would not know the awful things that are happening in that city.

And here we go...

I work in that city and it's pretty nice. Yes, there are some problems on the south side and there are problems like other big cities, but overall it's a great place.
 
Was in Chicago last summer. Stayed in a hotel, 30th something floor with a view of the lake. Almost the opposite view, looking back at the boats in the water.

It has been really clear across the lake lately. It always amazes me on those days when I can see the city clearly.

Yep, the season has been fantastic! I can see the skyline more days than not, when at my boat (37 miles across the lake).
 
Great photos. I just love Chicago and the food even more. Lived there for work about 20 years ago ..had an apartment in Wrigleyviille and could see into the outfield from my window. Our building was one that had bleachers on the roof. Man we had some great times during the two summers I was there. What a town.

you got some pretty strong denial going on there. 3/4 of my slip mates are from Chicago are you trying to tell me they’re lying to me?
 
 
Sad what's happened to a great city. But it's ok...Lori has police protection on her block!!
 
FFS...I didn't mean this to become a political post, but some people apparently can't help themselves.

Is Chicago perfect? Absolutely not. Do they need to crack down on crime in some areas? Yes. Do they need more jobs in some areas. Definitely.

I still love the city and I've never felt in any danger. I work there almost every day and I love it.

Not exactly sure why you think acknowledging what is going on in Chicago is political. If it is then your original post was political for pretending everything is perfect.

My original post was just some pictures. You are the one who is trying to ruin the thread.
 
Can't we all just agree Chicago is safest when viewed from a few miles offshore?

Beautiful City and I grew up in the north burbs. But it isn't what it used to be!

Back on subject - @They call me Tim, have you locked down the river yet?
