I'm born & raised in the Midwest - Milwaukee - and currently live in Chicago. I love it here but HATE THE WEATHER. This "summer" or long drawn out winter, if you will, has sucked major ass and I don't know why the hell I stay here.
I've never been to San Diego, but I'm considering flying out there over Labor Day weekend to check things out.
C- for someone who has lived in both places, what do you love most about SoCal??
Well... Chicago... AMazing culture, the number one nightlife in the country (rated by about 10 magazines), restaurants are amazing here, you can travel just about anywhere you want to without a car... on the best Public transportation system in hte world...
SoCal -- weather, simply breathtaking, the scenery... it blows you away... everytime I look at the countryside... it takes my breath away. The people, to the contrary, are very nice out there... I was very surprised. The attitude is VERY laid back... there is no winter, so there is no down time. The "chicago" ass doesn't exist... meaning, just about all the hot girls out there have great asses...
Down side to SoCal... I don't know that many people out there. Cost of living.. it is a tad higher than in Chicago -- but only becaue I KNOW Chicago so well, and where to find deals on rent.
Down to Chicago - Weather, the shitty Traffic (I know you say SoCal is bad... but fuck.. sometimes, in Chicago... it is retarded during Cub Games... the city shuts down)... Job market for attorneys... it blows.
More ups to Chicago -- I have amazing contacts here... For personal training, I know SOOO many people in the city... it is really retarded just how many people I know here... I have people that own gyms, stores, clubs that know me and I have hook-ups all over the place.
No hook ups in SoCal -- of course, I don't know anyone there... except ***, my last roommate that moved out there, SofaGeorge... and... well... a few others in San Diego.
C-ditty
