You've lived everywhere including Chicago? You poor tortured soul, I moved here temporarily from Paris and don't want to live "everywhere" (unless we're talking Monaco, French Riviera, Manhattan, etc) and I certainly wouldn't ever want to live in Chicago. I'm so above such places.
I certainly see and like to see everywhere, I've been to New York City, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Boston, Philadelphia, San Diego, Atlanta, Washington DC, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia and a few podunk towns in between and most of the time, I couldn't wait to return home.
Unfortunately, Chicago was one of the places I was not too fond of.
You've been to White Plains dementor. You were born there and are currently living there. Last year, you took a fourth grade class trip into Manhattan (now, single file kids! Hold hands with your partner!) and you got to see the World Trade site, you went to the zoo in Central Park (look at the zebras!), you had pizza at Sam's (look, I can fold it!) and then you took a ferry (what fun!).
That was the only time you have ever been to Manhattan or been fifty miles away from White Plans. Admit it.
In chronological order, I've lived in Chicago; Madison, WI; San Luis Obispo, CA; New Orleans; New York; Columbia, SC; Richmond, VA; Seattle, WA; Seoul, ROK; Monterey, CA; San Francisco, CA; San Angelo, TX; Fayetteville, NC; Honolulu, HI. I've visited virtually any place in the US you can imagine outside of Houston (only major city I've never hit) and some of the middle plains states, Maine/NH, and Alaska. Weekends in Santa Barbara or La Jolla, trips to Boulder, spring breaks in South Padre, weddings in downtown Savannah, etc. I've spent considerable time on business in Europe (mostly Brussels, but also Berlin, Paris, Lyon, and London), Asia (Taipei, Beijing, Tokyo), and of course the Middle East with Qatar, Kuwait City, Baghdad, and Kabul. I've stepped foot on every continent aside from Antarctica.
Chicago is my favorite place, pretty easily. Seattle is up there, though, and Monterey is the best small town I've ever spent time in and the only one I could imagine living in. Honolulu is nice, too. New York is a fun place, but it never really jumped to the front of any lines for me in my mind. Sorry.
Go pray or something and stop bothering me, unless you have something intelligent to add to this conversation.
Boy, you're just fighting a losing battle today, aren't you? You can't win at all. You were beaten down and discarded earlier, but you're just a glutton for punishment. You/dementor (or both of you, if you're separate people) are the used condoms of this forum...used, discarded, and flushed.
I think that's your new nickname now. Used condom...U.C.
I'm still waiting for my virtual tour through New Delhi, U.C.
And when are you coming to Chicago? You and I need to hang out.

Oh, cute.
That reminds me of my friends middle-school aged son who lives on the Upper East Side and driven town with his nanny. They soak up the spectacular NYC sights and go to like the MET, Guggenheim, that Museum of Natural Arts and Sciences at Central Park, the CP Zoo and enjoy all the other superior activities New York offers.
He even walks and plays in Central Park by himself! I'm sure he would be gunned down if he ever tried such a thing in Chicago.

LOL Everyone of those things can be done in Chicago. Like...everyone of the comparable amenities is also world-renowned. You don't think before you post, do you? At least wiki the Chicago analogues of those places before you type. Do you like looking foolish? I mean, I wouldn't think so, but you do it SO consistently, one can't help but think.

Comparable things?
Like eating hot dogs, dodging bullets and shopping at JC Penny i.e. that glorified New Jersey shopping mall aka Mag Mile?
No, like going to the CVC (West side of the Loop), the Art Institute (Grant Park), either the Field Museum (southern Grant Park), or the Museum of Science and Industry (Hyde Park), and the Lincoln Park Zoo (Lincoln Park).
So, yeah. All of those, by the way, are indeed world-renowned. Just not dementor/eurous1 renowned. I mean, look them up (obviously you've never been). If he wanted to eat bad hot dogs and get shot at, he could just go up to the Bronx.

The pathetic thing is... Chicago is more dangerous than Bronx.
And those museums are awful in comparison to the spectacular ones in New York. Everything in Chicago is a few notches below New York City. Chicago reminds me of imitation designer goods.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

The Bronx isn't like that. I teach in the south Bronx, so i'm there everyday. It isn't like you think it was in the 1970s.
