Jim, I'm a "nortsider" now, but I grew up in the south suburbs. Nice to meet you!
Midway is a MUCH easier airport to fly in and out of, but since I live so close to O'Hare I rarely do that anymore.
Yes, I have a productive city yard, but one thing I don't get is a clear view of the stars due to all the light pollution.
DH and I vacationed in northern New Mexico a few years ago [if I had my dream life I'd live in northern New Mexico...it's just good for my soul, is all I can say] and the night sky was awesome. One night he said to me, "What's that fuzzy stuff in the sky?" I was stunned: "Why, that's the Milky Way, honey!" DH is 100% city boy and it had been soooo many years since he'd seen the night sky he didn't remember!
