We'll deal with them later. They have their own Rome to deal with. And it has a fort!

I would have to assume sarcasm. Chicago with barely better infrastructure? Rome doesn't even have an interstate. Rome has better food? Better sports? Better architecture? Wins in the category of unemployment, even though Rome is over 10% and Chicago is 8.5%. Better entertainment because it has 12 bars?

Why do people spend time making these random threads.

Who needs an Interstate when you have U.S. 27 and U.S. 411?

Hell, if NYC had 27 and 411 they could dismantle their entire subway transit system.

Exactly. There are some places where 27 and 411 both have two lanes on each side, PLUS turning lanes. That's six lanes!! If you add them together, that's 12 lanes!!

Talk about comparing apples to oranges. The third largest city and metro area in the country and a truly global city to a small city in the south.
