Milwaukee.
Sometimes I feel Chicago is just a weird fit for the tire region.
You see a city at 2.9 million people, and a metropolitan area nearing 10 million. The next largest is 910,000 in the city and 5 million in the metro... major difference.
Milwaukee is a city that stays true to it's Midwestern roots, and unlike Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Saint Louis- Milwaukee does not feel like the typical "rust belt" either. It screams Midwestern in nearly every way.
Minneapolis just like Chicago feels a bit out of place for the region as well. Kansas City is a special case, it's got it's own thing going on.
Whichever one is the coldest, grayest, and most boring.
