I think you missed all the places I've lived. I listed them like a page ago. You assume that people that are from somewhere never go out and see the world- I wonder why that is? Is it because that's your situation?
eurous, I really hope they get it (I know they won't, city's transportation system is not up to the task first of all) as it would be a great opportunity to expose this city's impotence. All this big Chicago talk while they can't even get their streets to look like normal city streets where instead you have potholes the size of Geo Metro, most of them from the previous winter.
Olympics in Chicago would be a logistics nightmare and a big spectacle on how to syphon public money to private pockets. After all, this is Chicago where corruption is a generally accepted aspect of reality.
Too bad they won't get it.
Thought you might enjoy this read regarding potholes. Looks like NYC is ranked right up there.
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.
Yeah, that's kinda the point. There's no objective answer, because to me (and my very experienced opinion- as experienced as you if not more so, and definitely more experienced than dementor) New York is a nice stand-in for Chicago but that's about it.

I bet you have seen most of these places. On TV.... Nice going Lucas but try again.
Yeah, in the military and the NSA, they usually have you sit at home in Chicago. You can ask for an IP check and ask why anyone in their right mind would be in Fayetteville, NC, wikipedia it, and figure out why. Then wait a week and see me in Chicago, then wait another week and see me back home in Hawaii.
Except I'm sure you don't know a lot about IP checks, or you wouldn't have claimed you were in Chicago when you were in Brooklyn. Anyway, sorry kid, I have a lot more experience in the world than you do. You just look dumb when you try to act like someone's whole world is Chicago when they haven't lived there in almost a decade, and have been on six continents since then. And you try to preach about internationality. Christ, you're over your head.
