Between Milwaukee and Detroit. Both have friendly people and just the cities themselves. I am looking to relocate to metro Detroit, but have considered Milwaukee and Green Bay. Ah, so hard! I am a die hard Packers fan, but I love the Tigers. All three cities mean something to me.

Chicago. It's the third biggest city in the US and is a true world city. The airport sucks though.

Chicago. Top 5 U.S. city, only really awesome big midwest city.

I don't consider MKE to be a big city.

Minneapolis and St. Paul - most of the benefits of Chicago without the high crime rate and a lot less of the toxic politics.

Indianapolis may not be big as Chicago and the Twin Cities but it has the lowest cost of living out of all Midwestern cities listed above. Hamilton County just north of Indy has been one of the fastest growing counties in America for a few years now.

Need a none-of-the-above option. My love for the Midwest is that I can be away from the city and enjoy the natural beauty, four distinct seasons, and peaceful quiet found in the small town atmosphere.

I know it's called that now, but I have SUCH a tough time with Chicago being called a "world city." It is not Rio. It is not NYC. It is not Tokyo, Shanghai, London, Paris, Sydney. It's not even Singapore, Sao Paolo, Mumbai, Hong Kong or Seoul. Hell, it ain't even Moscow, if you look at world impact.

Chicagoans and their politicians love sprinkling that term on everything like hot sauce. World City World City World City. Such a reach.

Love Chicago, used to live there, and it's big. And has great stuff and it's a great city. But it's more of a great Level 2 "regional city," like Cairo, Berlin, Warsaw, Toronto, Madrid, Cape Town, Manila. Those places ain't Tokyo or NYC either, great as they are.

"World City" designations need to tighten up. Period. They need to look at other categories. Chicago's Midwestern, it's not on a ocean coast (despite world port access via Seaway) and hardly impacts WORLD economy/issues/politics. US and regional/continental? Certainly.
