I live in Louisiana.  It is pretty hot here these days.  whats your weather like?
cloudy, humid :) Chicago metropolitan includes Chicago and Illinois
My dad is from Illinois so I am familiar with the area.  Chicago is great
Yup! It has over 9.5 million people which makes it the 3rd largest metro in the US
I love all the museums and things they have there
Oh yea, they have more than 400 major corporation headquarters (31 in Fortune 500). It's booming!
