Why we laugh when folks on the Eastern Seaboard bitch about the weather.

It seems as if Irvine Welsh has relocated to Chicago for a while and he wrote this opinion piece for the folks back home across the great big pond about our fair town.

It's always interesting to me to get an outsider's view of Chicago. Lately I've been making a lot of trips to New York and I wouldn't be against moving there if a job took me there but my heart will always be in the tough little town known as Chicago.

I guess I could go on a whole rant about why I dig Chicago so much but what do you really care? Dig the article though...it may be one of the only times Welsh writes without employing a Scottish dialect you need to translate!
