Because Tokyo has a high population and GDP than New York and LA but I'm sure you knew that because of your posts. Oh wait! you clearly didn't, silly me to think a troll would take time to get facts I'm sorry, I'll let you get on with lying to us.



Wait, no ranking!? But your posts made it sound so much like there was because you were SO adamant about New York being number one and LA being number two but then you say there is no hardcore evidence to back it up!?



You mean the Cubs that still sellout every game of the year? What about the oldest and most storied NFL franchise in history? Or the greatest dynasty in basketball ever? But this can't be possible according to you because with all of your endless knowledge you come to this forum to argue this.

Go back to your bridge, troll.
If you're not already aware, you should know that you are arguing with dementor. "upper-hand" (nice, tactful new alias dementor) is simply another spawn he's using to go along with his basketcase full of alias (thefinalcut, advocusvioli, etc.). There is no good end here.

dementor-- how many aliases have you created on this forum? From that number we can easily deduce the number of times its been banned.

Maybe within the city limits but I doubt it if you included the entire MSA.. Lots of folks unfortunately never put Chicago on the top of the list of places to see because of misperceptions..

To upper-hand's defence most rankings place LA over Chicago, like this one, backed by no other but Chicago Council on Global Affairs :

Go back to your bridge, troll.
If watching a team that has not won the title in over 100 years is considered an attraction in Chicago it only proves how boring and uninspiring Chicago is, how little it has to offer.

Yeah, all the people pointing out mediocricy and idiocy of Chicago are trolls and all people avoiding Chicago have misperceptions Open your eyes

Ridiculous.
And somehow DC never scores high on any global city ranking, how is that possible?

That chick with broad shoulders sure is beautiful








Chicago's skyline is weak compared to NO skyline

That's what you think. There are five times more high rises in New York than in Chicago hence it is weak in comparison. Nice pix, though.
