Frank Olito, writer for Inside, has been a lifelong New Yorker. That’s his home territory. Recently, he traveled to Chicago and Detroit and some of his takeaways were shocking. Olito remarked on the fact that he, “…was even more surprised by how hot it gets in the Midwest.” and “Pedestrians wave and thank cars as they cross intersections.” It’s almost like Chicagoans are people, too.
