Did Pittsburgh invent possessive pronouns too? That's what had me confused earlier.

I guess that Vegas has better musuems than NYC too? Art galleries?......

Under cutting NYC's population by over 1 million people is a big deal. That's more than 1/3 of Chicago's TOTAL population!.............

I just assumed you didn't know what you were talking about, because again WHY do Oscars matter in plays, which are awarded Tony's for their quality? I didn't think you could've meant that, because....why?

Like when? Like when he thought the John Hancock building wasn't anything special in architectural circles and was proven wrong? Like when he thoughthat NY had better architecture than Chicago and was proven wrong? Or was it the time that he said there were no international events or more celebrities than Jordan and Oprah living in Chicago and was proven wrong? Or do you just mean the time he said he lived in Chicago, then said he visited a lot, and was caught lying about both?

Which time was it again?

LOL WTF does this have to do with anything? Why would you even think that or think anyone ever even insinuated that? Are you half-retarded or something? Nevermind, don't answer that- I remember when you thought College park was an unaccredited school in the 'Carribean' and didn't even bother to google it afterwards and kept going with it. And you ridiculed actual research in light of random anecdotal experience. I think we all know the answer, actually.

And your sentence had a completely different meaning than you wanted. It is a big deal. I also put a plus after 7 mil to cover myself but whatevs floats your boat.

What's the last comment you made about the skyline?

Serious question for those in the know: Is the Empire State Building occupied by tenants? I'm just wondering how her functionality has held up.

You should've put a "+" on the end of a 8, not a 7! NYC makes Chicago look and feel, like a 'cow-town' out in the middle of the Midwest! Period!

You didn't even know that NYC has a population over 8 million?...... Why are you even commenting on here........

Just to get this away from troll city since it is a serious question and it's skyline related:

Is the Empire State Building occupied by tenants? I'm just wondering how her functionality has held up.

Here's the building I'll be working in as of 4/6. 300 North LaSalle This is going to be a really cool experience in my professional life, being able to experience a brand-new building untouched by previous employees. I've done the tour and it has a new skyscraper smell.

You said that, "Broadway shows are not the high end of culture". so I was pointing out the othe "culture things" that NYC has!

Who would you rather watch, a "Tony winner" or an "Oscar winner"? Even if we're talking about Broadway. I think most people would agree that an Oscar winner has more allure than a Tony winner. Maybe not as good on stage, but still, to see an Oscar winner, that up close and personal, performing their craft, well, it's a priviledge to say the least. But what would you know?........

Jordan lives in the Chicago burbs, not the city. As well as Oprah now, I believe.
