We've all known for a long time how incredible Chicago's startup community is and now other parts of the country are taking notice. Internationally known VC and blogger Brad Feld published a great blog post on Chicago's thriving startup community called "New Reasons To Live In The Windy. Tweet him a "thank you" or comment on his post--help us persuade him to book his flight and head to Chicago!
