I vote "T-Dot" as the lamest nickname for a city. No disrespect to Toronto or its people, but I just think that's an awful name that does that city a disservice.

No and no. Just ridiculous. You sound like you've been renting Taxi Driver or other such 1970's NYC flicks.

NYC has six times as many highrises as Chicago, so obviously it has more tall buildings.

NYC has MUCH cleaner streets than Chicago, with twice daily commercial trash pickup (only once a day in Chicago) and 100% of NYC streets are washed every 48 hours.

And rats are MUCH more common in Chicago. I saw a huge one sauntering down the sidewalk near Al's Beef in River North. They're EVERYWHERE in garbage-filled Chi-town.

It's pretty funny when people try to compare or make a point of equality between New York which is usually ranked as the top city in the world with some city like Chicago that is ranked 8...

C'mon now. There is a reason why New York is ranked number one and Chicago number 8 and it is not the size that makes a difference.

If you would check the NYC crime rate, it's lower than Chicago's. Nice try at a put down towards NYC!

Clean streets and crime rate are two completely different things. Do you realize this?

Yeah, the last two are a lie. Chicago is known for being much cleaner than New York and I have never seen a rat in Chicago. Any post of yours that mentions Chicago bashes i.e. troll.

Could you try posting something worthwhile for once that isn't completely biased?

You must not be looking hard then... Why is this sign posted in virtually every alleyway in Chicago??? Both cities have rat problems.
