Not only are they all heavily populated spots, but they're almost all also large, steel-and-concrete structures, which doesn't make for good signal under any circumstances.
Ironically, I've had AT&T service for close to 5 years now, and my impression is that coverage has gotten A LOT better around Chicago, especially out here in the NW burbs. Things are still a tad spotty away from the tollways, especially in Elgin, but I've had decent service in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square and Lakeview. One major factor is the phone itself; my old Nokia 8260 had lousy service across the board, my newer model is MUCH better.
