It's different (better IMO) up north than it is down here, i'd go on and on about the south (though there are some pretty good things here too), I guess I just miss Chicago in general. One thing that gets me is the public transportation here.
Buses take an hour to get to any one stop on a run, in Chicago you'd only wait less than fifteen minutes, and there would likely be more than one. I could go on and on...

That's a fucking lie.
They say they run every 15 minutes, but youre lucky if you see one a half an hour. and I'm just too lazy to walk the 15 minutes from UIC's campus to the trainstation..
Even if that was a lie (personally i've never waited more than fifteen minutes on any given normal day), a half-hour wait is still better than an hour. I could walk to certain places here and get there faster than the bus. And I usually do.
EDIT: You're not talking about Pace, are you? I mean the main routes located within the city, not the neighboring suburbs.
No I think it's just the CTA between Ogilve and the UIC campus. It's not that far a walk but I just never do. It's just a bitch when you need to catch a train home
Oh. :/ If it's not true then it wasn't deliberate on my part. I might just have gotten lucky a few times. Or maybe they've gone to shit since i've been gone. I only visit for a few weeks every year.
I can empathise with the bus/train connection problem. I wouldn't want to risk missing a train home because the wait was too long, or I decide to walk.
At least the subway is still relatively convienent. I wonder if they're going to do anything with that "Circle Line" project I heard a while ago...
