You're not being cute, BRTD. Cut it out. This is akin to arguing that you'd cheerfully sign up for fighting in the trenches on the Western Front for the chance to see the beautiful French countryside.
My attitude on this needs to be understood in context. I grew up in North Dakota and wanted to get out and move to a big city...but many people around were talking about how horrifying that is because all big cities are universally terrible places and you'd never survive and if you want to move to a bigger metro at least go to a suburb. So I vowed to never live in a suburb.
Because it's wise to go the rest of your life guided by an "F#ck you, Dad!" mentality developed during your adolescence. After all, if there's one thing we know, it's that you never need to mature beyond your freshman year of high school.
Uh, seeing as you actually live in the city most associated with "OMG URBAN AREAS ARE ALL TERRIBLE!" and don't seem to mind I thought you'd be more around my opinion here.I think Cathcon finds your reasoning for your opinion more objectionable than the opinion itself, but I could be wrong.
Chicago has real cool L and subway and train lines. You might try them sometime.

Not likely. The Greyhound and Megabus stops are already right in the heart of the city, so the only reason I'd have to use them is if I was traveling TO the suburbs...so I'd have no reason to ever use them.

I think Torie is insinuating that living in a Chicago suburb would not isolate you from the cool parts of Chicago nearly as much as you think it would, but I could be wrong.
