If you were bored in KC its cuz you were clueless about what there is to do here. Not surprising though, most people FROM KC (at least burbs) are clueless about what there is to do here. So if that was your OH SNAP then you just massively failed.
Like I said i've been guilty of hyping me own city, as most people have... but your not gonna find much difference between those 3 cities as far as things to do. Please point out to me any significant differences it'd be appreciated.
Here's something you can do in Milwaukee and Cleveland that you can't do in Kansas City:
Denver isn't the only city near the Rocky Mountains, what about Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, Boise, and Phoenix? SLC and Santa Fe strike me as being very unique cities. Santa Fe is the 2nd oldest city in the US. SLC is dominated by the LDS church.
I totally agree with you about Chicago. NYC, LA, Miami, and SF are great cities, but they're not very "American." Chicago still feels distinctly American, while still being a diverse major metropolis.
Like I said I wasn't exactly sure on Denver, mostly listed it cuz of location, and obviously it's not like I'm the end-all decisive person when it comes to the list. When I put it on the list I said mostly because of location. The mountains you see in Santa Fe are not the same type of mountains you see in Denver...
regardless, yeah I should probably not have included it

I suppose you mean RIGHT in front of the city? Your right, you can't bust out a sailboat on the river in KC.... you have to drive 15 mins to Smithville Lake... woopty doo.
EDIT: Though I will admit, I never saw a pirate ship in the lake LOL.
Thought at the same time, people can ride (or used to be able to not sure if they still have them it was a long time ago I did) steamboats up and down the Missouri river.
Regardless none of those are significant differences.

You do know alot of culture that started in these cities are apart of the American Culture right.
New York is NOTHING like London, but I can certainly understand why a New Yorker would attempt to align with London.
Heres one of many things.
Quote:
While New York did do better in certain categories, overall, the two cities have striking similarity, the researchers behind the report said.
"I expected their to be more distinct and dramatic differences, but they really are neck and neck," the president of Urban Land Institute Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, William Kistler, said. "The bigger concern is that these two cities not rest on their laurels: What happens to the two cities in the next five years will be really crucial."
Sorry BigCityGuy, but in my opinion the built form of the two could not be more different if they tried. Nothing you could post could possibly change my mind.
