There is a bar I do love in Schaumburg though. Cougar heaven.

Suburbs are suburbs. Chicago suburbs are great compared to NY, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, LA, San Fran, Dallas, Philly, Jacksonville, Columbus....and pretty much any other big city, but they are still suburban hell. Get the fuck out. Hell they even suck in MN, so not sure why you expect differently. That of course being said there are pockets in any of those that are fine. Personally I dig the hell out of Minnetonka. There are other sweet spots too, but Schaumburg is like Woodbury. Booo!

Or you can't read...which we already know. You asked: Pro's and con's of countries of manufacture? ROFL. The second question (err, statement since punctuation > you) is also irrelevant. The Pro's and Con's are 100% manufacturer relative and NOT country. Of course that makes the second "question" you ask even more laughable. Obviously your only goal is to stir the pot. Try shutting off the blinders once and trying to learn, it will greatly improve your life.

Beware of Chicago may be an option for you. Chicagoland is NOT Chicago. For a suburban big city it is better than most, but living in Aurora is NOT Chicago.

Food, people, access to everything, nightlife, history, big ass lake, cool buildings, local sports... What other city can even come close? NY has a bunch but lacks seriously on the people, Boston is an interesting visit but get outside the city proper and fuck that. LA is a turd. Houston, ROFL. I can see the San Francisco argument, but it is still full of Californians.

Orange county is probably the biggest American abomination...but I leave a lot of the south out of my equation since it is so ridiilculously bad.

If there was a city in MN it may compete but our rural ass isn't a city

Greatest American city by far

I've been shot at in minneapolis, never seen a weapon pulled in chicago

Ok. 2 are natural

Reservoir city

Half? I would bet all is closer, lol.

It is where I bought mine lol. Test drive it there too

Per capita boat ownership is highest in az out of all states

A couple months to buy a house? Lord, I'd want at least a year. Maybe 2.

Definitely no relation to the location, but to the ones who specify the amps. Tons of great amps made everywhere and tons of crap.

Your poor Chinese mom

And JL to not rape me on a bracket. Ebay listing Stealthbox without brackets....aargh.

I need technology to work!

WTF, your weather is ridiculous

Finally some eye candy in the Olympics. Been slim picking so far.

Once it is installed

It's okay. Terrible time of year to get them. You want cold water

That is natural for me, but sometimes I prefer solitude. Depends on my mood. I am too aware though and find it easy to engineer my surroundings so that I can get done what I want.

Adding an eq without an actual anomaly to attack is a waste of time. The only Clarion eq's I've seen are also pretty pointless.
