Why are people saying Seattle??? Seattle is not as upscale as LV,NYC,MIA,AND LA. I really don't hear too much about CHI-TOWN shopping.

Never said CHI had average shopping, I said I don't hear much about it's shopping and I've never been there. Chicago is not a city you hear when people are talking about shopping.

Well still, you need to travel than. Chicago is very much known as a city for it's shopping. The home of one of the most popular shopping streets in the nation and home to a few department stores.

Chicago is not known for it's shopping scene. You never hear about the fashion shows, and famous shopping districts in Chicago as much as in Miami,Los Angeles, and New York. You may know because you've been there and researched the city, but not everyone has. Chicago is the most underrated city in the country imo, and if you think everyone else is as informed as you are about Chicago, than you maybe you need to get out more.

No. Before I even been to Chicago, it was known for shopping. I have heard of fashion shows and I gave you a fashion district. Visit cities before openly talking about it.

Now your just putting words in my mouth. Chicago is not KNOWN for it's shopping scene, people don't get rich and the first place they think of is the shopping districts in Chicago. I'm sure Chicago has a great shoppng scene, but for you to assume that everyone knows about it because you've visited and researched the city is selfish on your part. Chicago is not in the spotlight as much as NYC and LA.
