LA is the other first city, like Rio in Brasil. Neither is the biggest, but are strong capitals of cultural influence.

Lots of visitors might not consider LA the 2nd biggest US city because they can't figure out if LA is a giant surburb, or a big city. They don't have that kind of impression once they arrive in Chicago.
I can agree with this post, very well stated.

^ I'll agree as well.

I voted for LA because its more well known, although if you're talking business/finance/urbanity, then it's certainly Chicago.

Can you say "anal"? If you and others are so concerned about another person's grammar and spelling you feel compelled to comment, You all must be anal-retentive.

You must be "anal" for feeling compelled to comment on others who are showing dissapointment in others' poor writing skills.
