About 5 miles away, some great restaurants near the Mall, Margianos is one of my favourites :) We're 6 miles from Philly on the NJ side of the River :o

We have been to the Maggianos at Schaumburg a few times, you always need a big appetite there!

I'd like to move back to Illinois. Utah is nice, the people are really friendly, but wouldn't like to be here for too long....

The East Coast is a lot faster paced than the Mid West and the people aren't as polite, don't get me started on the driving here :D

We have been to New York a couple of times, as you say it is faster paced and they are not as polite. Here they are TOO polite!

I know what you mean, intersections is always a good one, "You go first"
"No you were here first"
"No I insist, you arrived 3 nanoseconds before me"
"No you did, I have it on camera"
"FFS"

Screech, crash..
