How can a city with a 2am last call (SF) possibly have as good of nightlife as a city with a 5am last call (CHI)?

Wow so much hatred for cities people need to get a life chicagoland is home to 9mil people and growing not because it sucks but because people like it. People move here from all over the country for no reason. It takes three major cities to come close to chicagos population that is saying something. Hey we are midwestern we don't care we talk funny so what we would rather spend our money on other things than cars and houses. We are friendly and u get a small town hospitality in a big city. The bay area is nice but not for all people I personally like four season not everyone. People calling chicago a hell hole in the midwest we look at u and smile cause we are happy where we are.

Chicago over SF!
Chicago is a Global Alfa World City
San Francisco is a beta city

Chicago has the better nightlife.
Chicago was ranked as America's 2nd most entertaining city after NY because of huge number of restuarants,2nd only to NYC, and its huge number of bars,pubs,taverns,lounges, and nightclubs.

America's Most Entertaining Cities - Forbes.com

Chicago also has the world's food festival "The Taste Of Chicago" about 3.6 million attend each year.Chicago has the world's largest air and water show.Chicago's Air and Water show attracts about 3.1 million spectators each year.Chicago's Puerto Rican Day Parade is the city's largest and America's 2nd largest Puerto Rican Parade.About 2 million people line up and down Columbus Dr. in downtown Chicago for the city's PR parade. The PR fest in Humboldt Park is the city's largest latino festival in the midwest drawing about 1 million people.

Chicago is more diverse then San Francisco.There is about 850,000 latinos in the city of Chicago.That's more latinos(not counting Chicago's whites,blacks,and asians) then all of SF's population put together.Chicago has people from all over the world and is more diverse then SF.

Demographics of Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chicago is the World's 5th most economically powerful city according to Mastercard index.Chicago Loop is America's 2nd most powerful finanacial district.Chicago's economy crushes SF.Chicago has the world's tallest skyline based on the average height of the 10 tallest completed builings. I could write a book in every thing Chicago out ranks SF in.....but i'm going to stop.

Chicago> The whole bay area

face it, the only people who care about chicagoland are pale midwesterners from iowa and the clueless natives that think chic is on the level of coastal cities

watch this video of chic losing the olympic bid


YouTube - Live Reaction: Chicago Loses Bid for 2016 Olympics - 10-02-09
ahhaha

its just too funny

must suck living in illinois..surrounded by wisconsin...ooh lala..indiana *gasp*...how fun!!

the Bay's weather alone absolutely destroys any competition from Chicland...and all you people saying "ohhhh cost of living bla bla bla..." who cares..sorry your broke midwesterner mind cant earn enough money to live in a place like Californias coast ...theres a reason chicalnd is so cheap compared to The Bay


Thanks. I was really hoping someone could bring us down to the level the haters from Chicago were at. Way to make us proud.

Chicago> The whole bay area

Let me cover a few points:

Bay Area has :
1.Better food, better dining options, better produce
2.Better weather year round
3.Much better terrain and close proximity to every flavor of outdoor activity
4.Better universities,jobs
5.Much more diversity
6.Culture

this is just a start

Seriously! All that crap he was talking was completely unnecessary.
