You see New York is such a great city than even it's suburbs beat most other cities in access to high quality products. Shopping in Chicago is terrible but why would it be better in this Sears and K-Mart city?

I actually think Orange County is totally overrated myself,I just happen to enjoy a few coastal towns there where I have lived..FYI I never compared Manhattan or Nyc to OC in shopping..just White Plains...The OC was sadly on when I lived in Newport..Your ignorant monkey boy like attempts / A$$ hAT opinions are becoming something of lore on CD ..You and all your fake elitist alias's .. do your neighbors a favor and wash your car out with a hose, and get a real identity.If you don't think every one on here knows your BS by now than you need to give up the glue..

You are right. It has nothing. Evern walking around Chicago one notices lack of any monuments that are typical fixtures of any large city. Why is Chicago so terrible in almost any aspect?

To clarify - Chicago obviously has better shopping than White Plains, but Neiman Marcus in White Plains has a better selection.
