Are you trying to make a thread that encourages Chicago bashing?

Which is very sad and annoying.

I personally feel NY is #1 (of course lol) but NY & Chi are always interchangeable on these lists, they're always beating each other, I find it interesting. Friendly competition.

All that'll cease since NYC is undergoing another skyscraper (or should I say "supertall") boom at the moment. There's so much coming to the skyline, it's not gonna look the same lol.

How do Chicagoans feel about the Spire? I loved the building but I felt it's location threw the skyline balance off, I wonder what's going on with that though.

Sweet, I think that Chicago's skyline is radical

Did you see some of those other categories? In weather it has San Francisco wedged between Austin and Providence at #16 (with places like Savannah, Nashville and SLC ahead of it). Yeah, right (as I bask in another gorgeous sunny mid-winter day with a high of 61).

Yeah, I noticed that Providence was voted high for several categories so I did the city comparison thing for Providence vs. Boston (my home) and apparently Providence is a mini-London while Boston is Mogadishu.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Providence is getting nicer but it beats Boston in pretty much zero categories. And I have a lot of experience in both places.
