Chicago epitomizes the good and the bad of American cities. It's amazing where it's good, and absolutely appalling where it's bad. It is the most racially segregated city in the US. White people live one place, Hispanics there, and African Americans somewhere else.
I remember flying out of Midway on the way back to Toronto, taking the El (sort of through the the South Side) . There were a group of dudes literally smoking crack next to us. It was actually terrifying.
