When I'm there I always stay with one of my best friends who lives by Midway. I think the area is called Garfield Ridge or something. I loved the area because it was all Irish and Polish people and everyone embraced their heritage so much and being Irish I felt at home. There was always this strong sense of family even with friends. Everyone took care of each other without even trying to or giving it a second thought and I think that's the main reason I miss it.

Oh and all of the good food. Chicago restaurants are the best.

The highlights of my trip were:

El Gallo, this shitty looking little Mexican restaurant, but had the best chicken burritos ever.

Portillo's, solely for their chocolate cake shakes and cheese fries.

Falco's, for their pizza.

And the Pick Me Up Cafe for everything.
