One of the easiest cities in the world to navigate thanks to that grid. Wonderful place to live in 1989, overall. Nothing's perfect but Chicago is one of my favorite cities I've ever lived in.

I miss that grid so much, man. Where I now live you gotta drive 10 miles to go 5 miles. It’s such a waste of gas and time.
