You're right! Chicago hasn't cured cancer! But then, we aren't on here bragging about our medical district (though we could--it's just that there are so many other things worth bragging about).

Chicago succeeds at what it does best (architecture, service industry, and finance/trading). We might be curing cancer, but we're keeping the world's economy going.

Pick your battles, mate.

Anyway, it's great that Houston has such a wonderful medical center. You should be proud, and not hate.

Well neither has anywhere else!
Houston probably has the best talent and resources to do this. Both are being worked on as we speak...
Besides, last I checked most vehicles don't yet use alternative energy. So until they do...

I know, what gives?
I like Chicago too. So I don't hate on it, but I will defend against stupid comments on Houston.

All of your comments are poorly thought out. Chicago is were EVERY SINGLE RAIL CROSSES! Unless you want to pay $6.00 for a single orange, you NEED Chicago.

You're the one that has a very high view of Houston which is great if you like it, I really don't care. Since you decided to forget that you starting bashing Chicago before anyone said anything about Houston, let me tell you this.

Chicago >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Houston

End.of.thread. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Rail. And it crosses in Chicago. Chicago must have been a hit in 1880?

Chicago's still a hit . Rail is used to transport a lot of goods. Oh and Dementor, were you banned for the last couple of days? Multiple accounts maybe? You haven't been around in a while, I missed you!
