Chicago's infamous L trains. They aren't very nice...at all.
Chicago is a popular city where many people live. Obviously, it is the capital of the state of Illinois. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the capital of Illinois; that would be Springfield, IL. It is home to many things, and some examples include Steve Urkel and the Nostalgia Critic.
