No fashion trends mostly start in Europe and move west.

That hasn’t been the case in a couple of decades. Far more fashion trends originate in the US and Asia these days.

Big little city seems like it would apply more to Philadelphia

New Yorker here, lived in Chicago years ago both great places with cool neighborhoods, architecture and nightlife, love them both for different things. Both so different culturally, geographically you can’t really compare them other than they are full of life, energy and fun. I don’t understand why this forum has to be so divisive-just enjoy what you have and where you live, who really cares what someone else prefers?

I think that would be hard to deny, the topper. Chicago is flyover country for the international tourist, virtually all of them planning and experiencing a trip that is designed to take them into New York for a four day tour, followed by flying them 3000 miles west to San Jose for a six day tour....then it's back home again, seeing nothing of America but the Big Apple and the Rusty Chip.

Yep, Chicago has no relevance...just a dot on the map. No city has any meaning, other than NYC, and especially, Manhattan. It's astounding.

That doesn’t really matter. New York can have 30 buildings over 1000ft and will still look chaotic. Chicago has a better urban aesthetic than New York City.
