Having lived in Evanston during college and having spent a lot of time there in the 20 years since then, I can tell you it's a wonderful town and one of the few suburbs where I'd live. But I'm still a city dweller because I think Chicago is a fabulous, liveable city that has so much to offer.
Really looking forward to getting out of the heat (and yes, I'm aware of humidity, I'll take it over the 113 today).
We've had such a mild summer this year. Aside from a hot week or two, both the temps and the humidity have been very tolerable.
