There was this one mom and pop burger joint that had the simplest, most basic, super greasiest burgers but to this day they were the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. The place was tucked away in an alley and it was one of those “you have to be a local to even know this exists” places.
Also, having moved from a smaller town to a bigger city, I miss how close everything and everyone was. You wanted to go see someone, or go do something, it was always just a walk away instead of having to deal with all the hullabaloo of traffic and bus lines and yada yada.
Honestly, not much.
I went from the west coast (Nevada) to the Chicago area. I miss a couple of friends, fast commutes, and good Mexican food. That’s about it. Chicago has so much more opportunity and access to a ton of things.
Chicago does have some amazing Mexican food though! To be fair, I haven’t had any in Nevada, but I would imagine it’s comparable?
There’s a larger portion of migrants from Mexico and South America, in general, so Nevada (the west coast really) has a ton more authentic selections.
There are some good places here, but it’s also sporadic whereas the west coast it’s all over the place!
