    Yep, my mom's family is from Quincy, MA. Spent my summers as a kid there and saw my first game at Fenway when I was 4. The Vet just didn't quite match up with Fenway. I root for the Phillies every game except when they play the Sox.

    No, I think she meant to quote you, but accidentally quoted me. I've only been to Chicago for a week before my sophomore year in college, last year for Lolla and the Vic and next week.

    Oh haha.. that makes sense then, if she meant to quote me.

    Chicago is AWESOME! Its a way better city then Philadelphia, in my opinion. I never lived in Philly, but I grew up in Bucks County, and I went to College at West Chester University. But I did spend a lot of time in Philly during college. Chicago is a much more residential city, and has a lot more neighborhood feelings to the northside areas.

    I don't think we'll ever leave Chicago.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago, but whom ever said Chi town is more a neighborhood city than Philly doesn't know what they're talking about. Philly is nothing but a city made up of neighborhoods.
