>The Greater Chicagoland Area contains approximately 9.5-9.9 million people (depending on what you're willing to count as part of the greater area, for example the whole of Kenosha County in Wisconsin is sometimes considered part of the GCA.)

If only they'd had their own Donald Trump.

I've lived in Chicago for the past 13 years but I didnt go to the parade even though I was invited by several people. I feel like I kinda missed out.

I've lived in Chicago all my life except for a year of college away from home. Never been a cubs or baseball fan. I feel like I missed out too.
