A Year in Chicago by Leff

A Year in Chicago by Leff

While doing some research about Chicago podcasts I found this short video on youtube by a guy named Leff who has done a few nice videos about the city we all love.

This video is his first and is a nice overview of places he visited and stuff he learned about Chicago in his first year here.

This is a real boots-on-the-ground point-of–view.

If you are thinking of moving to Chicago, or visiting you should definitely check this out.

If you live in the city you will see many familiar sights and also possibly get a few new ideas.

I like his vibe, it definitely compliments my own laid-back style and penchant for an eclectic mix of adventures. After all that’s what’s really cool about Chicago, it’s easy to find something to fit any interest and if you are open to the experience you might find things you never knew about.

I’ll be following Leff’s channel and sharing some of his other videos here with you.
