Mexico City looks great, esp the more modern architecture. Not surprised at all given that it's the political and economic center of a country with 127 million + people.

So that is why it is over Toronto here. Mexico's European GRANDNESS is really its high-point too in NA.

Toronto is looking like a couple of other Canadian cities, namely Vancouver. The modern residential skyscrapers are nice, but it's also a little bland architecturally. I think Chicago and MC have a much more diverse architectural landscape.

Also probably has a lot to do with Mexico City being such a massive and dense city as many people on this forum specifically side towards larger cities--and Mexico City and its metro is among the largest. It's a really exciting city to be in.

Hey Dave buddy, those are some really nice pictures of downtown you posted there. But there are many parts of Chicago that are not so nice like Englewood here. Actually, I found most of Chicago outside of downtown to be pretty rough looking.

There are rough parts, but there are beautiful neighborhoods outside downtown, as well. Maybe you don't know where to look. Englewood is, I believe, considered the worst neighborhood in the city. Interesting you would jump to the worst, and talk about areas outside downtown being rough looking. I can show you some beautiful ones, if you like.

Yea, I think that's a good idea. I think when people post pictures of Chicago, it's almost always of downtown (especially the urban river canyon the Chicago River makes) or the skyline. It does a disservice to Chicago in some ways, because that emphasis means a lot of people miss out on the great patchwork of local neighborhoods that make up the city.

Here are a few very random streets in Chicago. Sorry to burst the bubble of drro, but most of Chicago doesn't look like Englewood.
