You said you have "yet to visit the Midwest" and yet nearly half of your "worst" ten places are IN the Midwest.....

People polled ranked Chicago LOW as far as "connectivity and sense of place".

Not a surprise.

Detoilet looks like a part of the third world that was dropped in the heart of North America. I wish I could see something good about Detroit but I dont. As a Michigan resident, I am ashamed what Detroit does for my states image and Im sick of paying for it in my taxes. I wish it would just dissapear.

What the hell would sense of place even mean?
Reminds me of a literary discussion in college about space and place. HAH!
Chicago must be a space, not a place. Egdon Heath, however, was a place; no wonder Eustacia died -- crazy broad!
