Cannot Get Cell Service Near New Chicago Home but Contract Not Waived

Since relocating to Chicago from San Diego in December of I cannot obtain any cell service within a four block radius of my home; thus, the only way I can obtain service is to get in my car and drive 5 blocks away, park some where and make my calls.
Over the past 2 months, I have made repeated calls to AT&T's customer service department escalating the calls each time to management personnel. On each occasion I've been told that they will file a complaint and some sort of action will occur; however, my service has not improved. In fact, if anything it has gotten worse.
As a result, I (again) called AT&T today and stated that I needed to have phone service within 24 hours or they needed to let me out of my contract as I shouldn't have to pay for a service that I'm not receiving. Unfortunately, AT&T said that they "don't guarantee coverage everywhere", thus, they will not let me out of my contract. However, it's not like I moved to a rural farming community. I live one block from Lake Michigan in the heart of Chicago; therefore, if they can't guarantee service within the four block radius of my home within the city borders what options do I now have???
