Reader H Kapp-Klote really dug our venn diagram comparing our lists of best places to cry and most romantic spots. And you all continued weighing in on X/Twitter.

The Places We Missed

• Users @mumbless1 and @TheDazzlingOne both said Sox Park should be on the list of places to cry. That might be even more true if the Sox end up moving to South Loop 😬
• Thanks to Google Translate, I know @CathairGhaofar thinks the Bridgeport Castle should be in the middle, given the original homeowner built the display to honor his late wife.

The Places We Nailed

• The CTA remains a favorite place to cry: “Absolutely no one has seen tears of mine more than the way CTA stops have seen my tears,” @madmusings_ says.
• I’ve never been to Little Clown Pizza in Avondale…but do I need to be crying there? Only @CarlSwoveland says the spot should also be counted as romantic 🤷‍♀️

But I did notice: I’m seeing a lot of crying happening in the mentions…but not a lot of romance. We good, Chicago?
