I like Baltimore's location better than Chicago's, but I don't dislike Chicago's location (especially its location on Lake Michigan and its proximity and ease of getting to places like Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis, St. Louis etc.).
As far as cities are concerned, I'd pick Chicago easily.
Chicago's population is hemorrhaging. What do u think those vacant neighborhoods look like?
Considering that Baltimore has lost nearly 16% of its population since 1990 (versus 3% for Chicago during that same time period) I'm not sure that this comment is going to score any points for Baltimore.
