1. The city is full of frames waiting for a picturesque view, a lot of the times peculiar and often full of elegance and class. Whether this frame is a window, two skyscrapers or the bars holding up the el tracks, I've witnessed some of the most beautiful moments while living here.
2. The food. Mmmmmmm. I love eating and this city is my craving. So many flavors to try. I think Ukraine food might be next on the menu...
3. I love spring and summer time in Chicago because people come out of their winter hibernation full of smiles out with their loved ones and dogs enjoying the sunshine. I've never lived in a place where suddenly it comes to life one afternoon.
4. Public transportation. Okay, I know, there's lots to complain about it too. BUT, for me, it rocks. I feel free and have never lived anywhere where I can travel to so many different locations with so many different vibes. There's such a lot of world to see... but already I get to see so much in my own backyard.
5. Ohhhh the resources. Just this past week I got to read about three more websites all about artist, about teachers, about collaborations of people and talent, and of course social justice. Three more to add to the list of already so many. The city is such a colorful palette of information and as an artist once said, "I want to be a paintbrush for society yet society is my paintbrush." The irony.

Chicago is also great because it attracts great people to get their masters in teaching here.
