Now I'm not interested in some silly pissing match about which region takes longer to drive through--so I'll concede that NY and LA are definitely worse. But the notion that you can get from Chicago to its outskirts "in a heartbeat" is just ludicrous.

Yes, Chicago has shitacular traffic but the
distance from the Loop to the country is surprisingly short given Chicagoland's size. We drove from Chicago to SW Michigan to drink wonderful beer last week and I noticed how fast the 'city' drops off.
