When has the city of broad shoulders become so sensitive?
I think with your whopping 9 posts you can sift through the lies to find it yourself.

Maybe your troll friend christian. can crawl out from under the bridge long enough to help you.

Wow? Is that what passes for intelligent response in Chicago: no substance but personal attacks. Bravo!!!

Buddy, Chicago has five times less high rises than New York City hence Chicago skyline looks weak in comparison to New Yorks... Is that so diffucult to swallow?
Just admit you did not know that fact and say good night

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.
It sounds like someone needs a dose of reality...there is no need to trash one city when praising another. There are so many people on city-data who just don't seem to understand this...and it can get really childish at times. Enough said...Chicago and New York are both great cities - the #1 and #2 cities of the U.S.

Take it easy Deacon. What gives you the right to call Chicago number 2 US city while LA is much bigger than Chicago? Is it fair to Angelanos?

Talking about a dose of reality here...

So it's a population contest?

I had no idea that Tokyo was that much better than New York. I learn something every day.

I thought we are talking about US cities here?
It's not only population that makes LA number 2 US city. LA is an important cultural hub, has a larger gross product and serves as US window to the Far East.

Well, your response remarked only on LA's size in comparison to Chicago--I assumed that must imply that you base your beliefs of the superiority of cities upon the number of people living in them. A trait, by the way, which would seem to apply across borders.

No, no. If it works for the US, it works for everywhere else. Thanks for enlightening us!

Say what? LA is the number two market in the US "for most things". LA is the second largest city economy in the US.
No, I do not base superiority claims on feelings, easthetics, vibes and other difficult to quantify criteria...

Again, I was merely responding to what you posted. Perhaps you should put a bit more thought into some of your responses.
