Right, Chicago doesn't have the history, street activity, nightlife, arts, nor proximity to other major cities Philly does. Just to remind you again Philly has the best museums in the country and Center City has the most performing arts per capita.

My god, look at this posts under his profile. He goes into every single thread about a city and then makes the exact same canned responses about Philly. Philly apparently destroys every single city in the country in every single category.

I haven't been to every museum in Philadelphia or Chicago, but it's hard for me to imagine that Philly has a clean sweep in the arts or museum categories.

Chicago has (but is not limited to):

The Shedd Aquarium, which was at one point the largest aquarium in the U.S. and is often the most-visited aquarium in the U.S.

The Adler Planetarium, the oldest planetarium in the Western hemisphere

The Field Museum

The Museum of Science and Industry, the largest science museum in the Western hemisphere

The Art Institute, the second-largest art museum in the U.S.

The Museum of Contemporary Art

The National Museum of Mexican Art
