Investing in Chicago :: Good, or Bad?

I am considering a 1031 exchange of an investment property I have in Los Angeles (one of four) out of State to get better cash flow returns, as I have a lot of equity. I have been looking at Chicago, along with other areas. I travelled there last month to see the City (and a good amount of properties) in person. I also met with several brokers and prop. managers. I know that Chicago has it's fair share of economic and political issues, but it's also a big City with a lot of positive aspects. 

Wondering if anyone has invested in Chicago, and if so, how the investments are doing?
