Until very recently, its city proper was larger than D.C.'s, and it maintains its own large sphere of influence.
Yea think of it as they are Beyonce and Kelly, more so than Beyonce and Blue Ivy.
Some of the Chicago suburbs are REALLY nice. I drove to Winnetka one time and it's the only time in my life where I've felt subconscious about my Toyota.
I'm not a big fan of suburban living but I'd have to say my favorite suburb is:
Davis, CA
- College town with a rural vibe. Surrounded by farmland.
- It's possible to live there if you don't have a car (but you'd want to at least have a bike.)
- 20 minutes from Sacramento, 90 minutes from San Francisco.
- IMO, it's one of the few places in the lower 48 states where you can take anyone from anywhere in the 48 states and transplant them here and they wouldn't suffer a lot of culture shock, whether that person is from Manhattan or rural Alabama.

Oh I know, I was just spoofing. Not to mention that Baltimore predates Washington by several decades and had a population over 20,000 when DC was just getting started. No doubt that may be true for many suburbs around the country that predate their core cities.

Winnetka sort of earned its honors; "Winnetka" is a Pottawatomi word meaning "beautiful place"
I've heard Seattle burbs can be pretty conservative.
I am not sure too many burbs are liberal. Sort of goes with living in the burbs. Lol.
