The Windy City Blues
Chicago, with its jazz clubs and speakeasies, was the place to be. But for Tom and Daisy, it seems the city life wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Maybe the deep-dish pizza wasn't as good as they hyped it up to be? Or perhaps the winters were too brutal for their delicate sensibilities.

Nah, just kidding. The real reason is a bit more scandalous.

A Scandalous Departure
You see, Tom Buchanan was a bit of a player. We’re talking serial philanderer level here. And word on the street (or rather, the upper-class social circles) was that his extracurricular activities were getting a bit too out there. The kind of stuff that makes even the most hardened gossip columnist blush.

Daisy, being the loyal wife she was (or so she wanted everyone to think), probably didn't appreciate the attention her hubby was getting. Plus, let's face it, the East Coast offered a fresh start. A chance to reinvent themselves, or at least their public image.

The Great Gatsby Connection
Now, you can't talk about Tom and Daisy's departure without mentioning a certain green-clad millionaire. Jay Gatsby, that’s who. This guy was obsessed with Daisy to a borderline creepy level. And rumor has it, his relentless pursuit might have had something to do with the Buchanans' decision to hit the road.
So, there you have it. Tom and Daisy’s escape from Chicago was probably a combination of factors: Tom’s wandering eye, Daisy’s desire to maintain appearances, and maybe a little pressure from a certain obsessive millionaire.
