I actually made a video of my night drive past that area tonite. I'm pretty tired right now but will post it up on the website in the morning. Have to transfer it to youtube.
You still didn't get what he was saying...he's talking about standing in the Loop along the Chicago River and looking up - like from the bottom of the canyon.
We know, we know. There is a certain point where if you raise you head the right way Chicago's Downtown looks really magnificent... I bet you all drive there all the time to enjoy it.. Still, compared to New York, even in those few pictures Christian just posted, Chicago looks weak...
Now you've just lost all credibility.... It's one thing to like nyc's scenery better but to say chicago.s is weak is nonsense....even when compared to new york get yourself together lol

Opinions notwithstanding, I was trying to help that poster understand. Sorry you took offense to it...

And who made you a judge of one's credibility? Compared to New York's, Chicago skyline is weak. I can't show it to you since there is no a way to capture the entire New York's skyline in a single or even a few pictures as there is more than one New York skyline, but in numbers New York has fifty eight hundred highrises and there are just eleven hundred in Chicago... Chicago's skyline is five times smaller than New York's. Can you imagine a skyline five times bigger than Chicaqo's? There you go. Chicago skyline may by itself seem impressive but compared to New York skyline is simply weak.

PS. Go easy on unnecessary pathos, kid. You may have a different opnion but derogatory comments about another poster and his credibility may backfire if you are proved wrong...

No. Your first few posts were just attacks on Chicago and the posters from there.

Attacks on Chicago? Is pointing out the fact that Chicago has five times less highrises than New York and as a result looks weak in comparison, an attack?
When has the city of broad shoulders become so sensitive?
You've got to be kidding...Chicago is a fabulous city with A LOT worth remembering. I know everyone has his own opinion, but come on...there must be something more to yours than simply not liking that city - a rivalry with NYC perhaps? It's not impossible to love both Chicago AND NYC.
LOL, since when was Chicago on the same level as NYC to be its rival? London, Tokyo, yes, Chicago? No.
FYI, this alleged "rivalry" that has nothing to do with the fact that Chicago in my mind was a blur. Nothing remarkable at all. I didn't mean to be rude, but I just don't remember the view from the loop....and I was there in September. Someone needs to post the photograph so I can refresh my memories.
