Magic City used to have some really nice strippers back in the day. Atlanta has it all over Chicago when it comes to strip clubs. The women are better looking down there.

Right, depending on the neighborhood and proximity to downtown. In the city, prices seem to be more like average of $300,000, but i dont have exact specs to prove it, just roaming the real estate pages. its' not as bad as Manhattan, where rent can be $2,000 per month for RENT! and a decent price condo/coop for like several thousand unless you live in a 250 square feet shoebox.

Oh also i got the idea about prices around the USA from watching House Hunters on HGTV.

I highly doubt that the average price of a home in Chicago is $300k.

In some parts of Atlanta homes start in the $200k range in areas that are nice and the schools are just ok. In the areas with the best schools houses start at $750k. If you see a house online that is a SFH listed for under $200k it is either in the suburbs or a bad neighborhood in Atlanta proper.

NYC is 63% more expensive than Atlanta. Chicago is 16% more expensive than Atlanta.

Yes Atlanta women are better kept. There are a few areas that are dressed in Chicago but hey don't compare to Atlanta and Charlotte.

Interesting. Though there are pretty women here, I find the women dress very tacky with brightly colored nails and bad weave, and these are professional women. Black women who are fashionable and pretty in Chi blow Atl women away IMO.

I have been asked many times where I am from because I don't look like the women here. I have also had people tell me I am from Chicago by looking at me because according to them, I am well dressed, well spoken and prettier than the women here. This has been men in all cases.

But since I am not a dude I can't judge lol.

I'm sorry but there's no way that the black women in Chicago look better than the ones in Atlanta. Chicago is pretty disappointing in that respect.

some areas yeah on the north side. depends on what kind of home. I'd have to do a scan when i have time to see, but still $250 grand is close enough to $300 grand, if you dont have the money to pay for either!

We are talking about Chicago as a whole, not the north side. The median price is around $200k. It's pretty much my job to know these things. You know, I get kind of annoyed by your posts. I remember you trying to tel me about New York City when you've never set foot there. Now, you are talking out of your a** again.
