Millions of people packed into a small area. Scary as well due to being so crowded.

Other than my home town, I enjoy Chicago more than any city I have been to, and I have been to many on several continents.

I think that Chicago is one of the great cities of the world.
Agreed.

It's a great city - different from but equal to NYC in my opinion.
