And who would want to retire in Chicago unless you had to live near your kids or something. I doubt anyone who is NOT from Chicago would retire there. Most retirees want warm weather and low taxes.

While in Chicago last month I decided to visit the Loyola University Water Tower campus and where the student union used to be stood The Clare. I cannot begin to imagine what it costs to live there. But having spent many winters going to school there with the wind ripping through the highrises off Lake Michigan all I can say is: The Villages is the place to be. Easy livin' is the life for me.
