Your silly views seem to be in the keeping with the Chicagoans I come across (on this forum especially); crass, small-town, and unexposed. Sometimes I wonder why I even bothering venturing from the coasts of the United States.

I find it (very) mildly amusing that you're under the assumption that I have the time to post and troll under dementor to defend a city that everyone knows is the Holy Grail of all cities but I am very curious if you have anything to add to this conversation.

Do you?
Actually, yes...

...you never told me what to see in New Delhi. Care to?

That's right, the Big Apple.

You see, I could pull up a photograph of Chicago, such as this:



And what do we see? A catastrophic mess of gray, bland buildings, empty spaces and general unattractiveness that we could find in....I don't know, Houston.

In any case, I can't say I'm surprised. After all, Spire, TheLordIsOurSavior (or whatever)/LucasS6 live in Chicago. To them, their sad excuse for a park surpasses Central Park and their town even tops even Paris when it comes to grand architecture. What do you expect? They live in the middle of the United States surrounded by cows and farms so I honestly don't blame them for their low-class provincial views and general lack of taste.

Oh, you silly Chicagoans. Cest' la vie!
LOL. You came back! HAHAHAHA

No, for like the fifth time, I don't live in Chicago- I haven't in nearly a decade, and I haven't even visited for far, far too long (3ish years, it was summer 06). I'm fairly confident I've spent more time in more places than you have (it's hard to outdo me considering my work). But man....you came back! LOL

Well, from what I gather from your demure, we are obviously two complete different people.

I would obviously be at the Taj Mahal, you would be at the New Delhi equivalent to the Best Western...or maybe a hostel of some sort.

"Real" = Lack of class, sophistication, and culture. To summarize -- hell.

Still haven't answered my question. I didn't ask where to stay...I asked what to see.

I'll wait while you head over to Wikipedia.

You've lived everywhere including Chicago? You poor tortured soul, I moved here temporarily from Paris and don't want to live "everywhere" (unless we're talking Monaco, other nice villages in French Riviera, Manhattan, etc) and I certainly wouldn't ever want to live in Chicago. I'm so above such places.

I certainly see and like to see everywhere, I've been to New York City, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Boston, Philadelphia, San Diego, Atlanta, Washington DC, Portland, Aspen, Denver, Seattle, Philadelphia and a few podunk towns in between and most of the time, I couldn't wait to return home.

Unfortunately, Chicago was one of the places I was not too fond of.
