Speaking of mountains, give me an extreme sausage sandwich, 4 hash brown sticks, 2 tacos with extra hot sauce, and about 12 hours.

Yeah, I think Wizzy missed the point there by about a mile. The people here already knew what was what, so it wasn't them who got suckered in. What's more, the Allen Brothers were from New York.

I'd rather live in Naperville (#2) or Aurora--the larger city next to it (and second largest city in Illinois after Chicago!). The Metra to some of the world's tallest skyscrapers along that beautiful lakeshore is the tie-breaker here.

You're in love with Chicago. When are you moving there?

I'll tell you why "it's worth it" to live in Houston. Two days before Christmas I went out for a walk at work in downtown Houston to get some tickets at Toyota Center (unfortunately the concert was sold out - 18000 tickets sold (and it's a two show event) during this recession says something about the economy here), and after a couple of "just awful (for the natives)" days with highs in the upper 40's I ended up walking over there and back with my jacket off and just wearing my short-sleeved golf shirt. I check the NOAA website when I got back and it's 72 degrees F with a 15 mph delightful south breeze from the Gulf of Mexico. Even though we don't have mountains like Denver or not quite the culture of New York, I think I'm fine staying right where I am!
