Vibe in one line

History nerd in running shoes who accidentally learned to like good food.

Rough population size

About 650k in the city; ~5M in the metro.

Transit / getting around

T is creaky but covers the basics; insanely walkable core; bike network getting less terrifying each year.

My take

Still my baseline city: high ceiling on walkable neighborhoods and low ceiling on winter happiness. Feels like a college campus that turned into a whole metro area.
