Oh, Chicago. There’s so much to love about this city… from the beer gardens to the skyline at sunset to its avid sports fans. You already know how much WE love this city… but now we want to hear from you! What’s your absolute favorite thing about Chicago? The thing that makes you try to convince all your friends to move here. Maybe it’s simply sitting on your front steps having beers with friends and striking up conversation with passing neighbors. Or maybe it’s the view of the lake from your Uptown apartment. Or reading the Red Eye on the L. (It’s ok, you can like our competition because we know you love us more.)

It’s not only the towering skyscrapers that make this city awesome. It’s the little things. The little people. I mean, not little people… you know what I’m saying. The individuals. Your kickass dry cleaner who got that wine stain out of your wedding dress. Your local coffee shop barista who always remembers your order. And the person who lets you change lanes in front of him.

We know you love Chicago as much as we do. So tell us why! Send us your best Chicago love letters and we’ll post them right here on UPchicago!

And check out the already published love letters here.
