That's true....it's taken QUITE a beating and it's still holding alright all things considered. I mean imagine if this many companies went backrupt, were taken over or left your city the way companies have to Detroit?

Meijer's is much better than K-Mart's anyway. It has everything. I used to shop there all the time when I lived in MI. We need Meijer's here in Minnesota - there's just no substitute.
According to the US Conference of Mayors' 2010 Report for GMP, the Twin Cities area has already surpassed the Detroit MSA. The Twin Cities is now behind Miami and Seattle. Note the 2008 - 09 decrease for Detroit: 200.9B to 190.8B.
Nice, it's definitely the biggest and best one for extreme cold to put up with.
New York City doesn't get that cold, to be called "extremely" cold. Boston does- but overall level Chicago, why go to Boston (on an overall city level). Don't get me wrong, Boston has some very nice things about it, but overall city to city, we know which of the two comes out on top.
Not that it matters at all, but I have a very close friend who has been to many countries overseas for Olympic competition - Mongolia, China, S Korea, Turkey, Lithuania, Amsterdam, Germany, France, among tons of others. This guy has also spent significant time in almost any and every city in America- Denver (Colorado Springs more notably) San Diego, NYC, Vegas, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Houston, Miami..
Anyways, he just got back from Boston and said it's by far his new favorite city in America. He said he went to Philly and NYC (He's been there over 100 times) and said that Philly, Chicago, and NYC cannot hold a candle to Boston.
Not that it means anything, but it was a cool conversation with him, seeing has he loved Chicago before Boston, now Boston is his favorite city in America.

Haha, yeah I deleted that post of mine at the same time you quoted me. I had no idea you quoted me at the time. Because I realized some of the things I said didn't match up because these things are purely subjective.
My initial goal was just a bad thought out one, I thought up some similarities and did the "bigger city = better city" thing, which isn't true.
