My kind of town, Chicago ain’t…

My kind of town, Chicago ain’t…
a bit too big and a bit too busy and without the obsessive Michigan cheeriness that we have got used to. It’s definitely a different place. I wonder how regions end up with different personalities?
In Britain it’s definitely a bit grim up north and the accent matches it.
Michigan is “perky” and the accent matches it.
Chicago is big, and has the sinister accent… or have I seen too many gangster films!?
The Tannoy announces that Chicago is bidding for the 2016 Olympics. They will have to import Michigan Residents as greeters if it is ever going to be a success.
Perhaps it’s good to leave America from Chicago, it will be easier to leave than Grand Rapids.
Time to go home…
