In your opinion, what are some things Chicago comes first in?

Food? Nightlife? Etc...

Are you talking about writing the city limits of Chicago or Chicago plus Cook County? Are you talking about past or present?

Chicago did have the tallest skyscrapers in the world. It did hold the only World's Fair in the Midwest. It is the largest city in the Midwest. It is the largest US City on Lake Michigan. It is the largest US City on the Great Lakes. It is the only city in the Midwest to receive a statue from Picasso. The only indigenous Chinese shrine in the Midwest is in the103-year old Chinatown Chicago, which is the largest Chinese community in the Midwest with an a population of about 70000 residents. Chicago might have the only water taxi in the Midwest; it travels between downtown and Chinatown.

Chicago shares a border street with inner ring suburb Oak Park - home to the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the world.

Chicago seems to have a really organized, gang unification system. But it did not originate there, it originated in the Joliet prison, but spread to the entire Chicago.

I went to high school in San Diego, and nobody there had tattoos on their faces.

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Texas. The honor belongs to East St. Louis.
