The winged wheel, our Detroit Red Wings baby!
Two professional baseball teams (one of which has actually won the World Series in living memory AND IT AIN'T THE CUBS!)
One professional football (American football, not soccer) team. Always good for a laugh at least.
One professional basketball team.
One professional hockey team (thank GOD that penny pinching ****** Wirtz is gone).

Some of the best and most varied food in the world. While I was traveling with the Army I was always appalled by how limited the selections of food were when I was dining out.

The best pizza on the planet. People talk about how great New York pizza is. I just laugh at their blissful ignorance.
Italian Beef (the real thing, not the roast beef in blah-sauce places outside Chicago try to pass off)
REAL Chicago-Style hotdogs
Brats
The Taste of Chicago

We're the birthplace of BattleTech.

If you're a Democrat, this is probably the friendliest place in the world for you. You can even crow about us providing the current President.

As I'm a conservative Republican, I'll just shut my mouth...

An aquarium, planetarium, multiple museums, etc.

The sheer, mind-bogglingly huge contributions in terms of manpower we've put into the entertainment industry.

The Fat Man's not afraid or ashamed to admit it. This is the reason why I hope to travel to Chicago one day.
