This might be the problem. You went from an industrial area towards some grittier neighborhoods out towards the suburbs of Queens. This is a really limited view of the city.
Tudors are ugly? Damn, even the LIRR station there is very unique.
//www.city-data.com/forum/6835063-post88.html Tell me what you think about these pics of Pittsburgh. I could post many more, my point, it's easy to post great pics of many cities (espeacially ones up north). But to someone who's spent any great length of time in Chicago and NYC, they know Chicago wins. Just cause NYC has more buildings, doesn't mean they're better! "Quality" over "quanity" is what were're talking about!
NYC has quantity and quality, I find myself intrigued by so many buildings (low-rise & high-rise). It never ceases to amaze me and there's so many places in NYC I haven't been.
Chicago' standard of living in much higher than NYC's! Everything from the grocery stores to the laundrymats. How many laundrymat's in NYC even have central air? And would it kill them to throw a roll of toilet paper or paper towels in their bathrooms?
And yet Kanye moved to New York... I wonder how he copes with the lower standard of living and lack of toilet paper there
I mean you can easily point out absurdity of this kind of posts: if it is so bad how come it is so great and attracts so many people?
PS. It's not only Manhattan, most of New York real estate, including Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island is more expensive than anything in Chicago. Why is it so if it is so substandard?
Quack's is pretty cool. Have you been to Spiderhouse? Another pretty cool coffee house. I also really like The Mohawk. Not coffee shop, but it's a bar and a really cool outdoor music venue. I went there on a Thursday night one time, and past about four or five other bands playing at outdoor venues. All of downtown is like that every night of the week. Only in Austin. So have you ever lived in or around Austin?
No I've never lived there. I spent a great deal of time there working in the 90's. Roughly a week a month for about 7 years, give or take.
I'm not sure if we've been in the same New York or Chicago but I'll say..easier on the eyes if you're blind/tasteless and better standard of living if you lack funds.
But for everyone else.... no. For me, certainly not. Give me New York!
Goodnight.
I really don't understand your instance to hate on Chicago. Every other New Yorker I've talked loves Chicago. Really, anyone I know that has visited Chicago loves the town whether their from New York, Texas, California, or wherever. Really, It's one of the most popular cities in the country and it is not uncommon for people to prefer Chicago over New York. They're both great cities. I don't see the need to bash either one.
I would say that none of the cities in Texas are unique. they all seem bland to me, they're just cities that offer the same amenities as any other average city.
