Do residents of Chicago like their summers?

Chicago, speaking purely on the weather, does not have a very good reputation. I do not live near there, and I was last there June 8, 1995 on a crossover flight at 2 p.m. ( it was foggy and 57 that day, but the day before and after it was warmer). I know that people complain that the winters are cold - and they are, and that the lake retards the warmth brought by Spring for several weeks. However, they seem to have nice, warm summers with the occasional 75ish high and 55ish low every dozen days or so after a cool front goes thru. In addition, the city averages 16 days above 90 degrees (8 days on the Lakefront). Still, the normal high temperatures from mid June until late August average 80 or higher, and the lake does the opposite effect in September - for people who hate cold weather, those first few cold fronts that you all get in September - when far inland areas drop to 45 degrees, people who live near the lake will not fall any lower then 60 degrees. I was wondering, what you think of Chicago summers, even if they don't last as long as you like them to. At least you still get some warm 80 degree days as late as October normally, and as early as April. Also, the water temperature normally peaks around 80 degrees in August, does it not?
