    That's not pollution. Fish die-offs are normal in Lake Michigan. However, the further South you are, the more the lake smells. Or maybe it's just the closer to Gary you are. I don't like swimming in the lake cause its cold.

      The lake has had it's polution problems in the past. But they are doing a good job of cleaning it up, and Oak Street Beach off North Michigan Avenue is wonderful.

      And another reason to like Chicago... It has the best Pizza in the world.

        Perfect climate?!?!? It's way below freezing in the Winters and it's boiling in the Summers. Chicago is easily the worst place I've ever lived in in terms of weather.

          Fall is perfect though, and it easily makes up for the whole rest of the year.

                    Hi, thanks a lot for the informative posts here. I wasnt just talking about temperatures but also the fact it aint just one big desert like the west :/ . The Quality of grass is a big thing to me. Would anyone be able be able to provide me with financial information about Chicago tho, what are the wages like, and how do they compare to standard of living??.

                    As for the East Midlands Viceroy, this is the boring part of the country innit!, no character...

                    Cheers

                        The pacific NorthWest and most of California don't fall under the category of desert.

                          Really? I've heard California is very desert like, depends how we would define a desert climate I guess..
                          I would define non-desert area's as an area where soft grass grows natrually.....

                            Northern California has many national forest and is very forested

                            Southern California is very deserty. Central California has a lot of farmland I believe. And central eastern California has a national park and many mountains and wilderness. Along with a Lake bordering Nevada.

                                some of the most enjoyable drives i had were through mojave and a bit of arizona (although that hardly qualifies as desert proper).
                                middle eastern deserts are also cool
