Fortunately, Chicago is home to more than a few sports teams spanning from minor league baseball to the NFL’s Chicago Bears to the storied NHL’s Blackhawks. It is also home to the oh-so-stylish Illinois state legislature, a state capitol that boasts the country’s smallest sex sex sex inn (and the state’s largest beer and liquor store). It is no surprise, then, that the city is home to the largest concentration of sports fans in the country. In fact, the city’s burgeoning casino industry has prompted some residents to voice their concerns. In the end, the mayor and his sexy aides have quelled those concerns with a well-deserved round of applause.

The city’s sporting prowess also extends to its food and drink offerings, which are the best of the best. It’s not surprising, then, that the city is home to more than a few bars and pubs in the many and sundry permutations of the alphabet. The best part is, it’s not difficult to find a good stout, especially on a Saturday night. The best way to do it is to start early and make your mark before the crowds descend. Alternatively, you can always ring up one of the local watering holes to get the inside scoop.

The city’s heyday is also a time of year to be on the lookout for new residents. For that matter, the city also does a swell job of attracting business travelers. There is a large pool of savvy professionals from all walks of life, who happen to be sports fans.
