We have the giant Louisville Slugger Bat. I also love that I can go one way 20 minutes or so and get downtown and go the other way 15 minutes and get to farms and Farnsley-mormon house to walk the levee.
In my current abode, the city requires that for X amount of land developed for new housing, a certain amount has to be set aside for parks/playgrounds! Outstanding planning if you ask me.
Other places:
New York: Central Park and the NYC subway system
"Blueberry Park" in Tacoma WA (former blueberry farm converted to a city park -- they left the blueberry bushes and you can go pick to your heart's content!)
Any city with a good bike trail or greenway system . . .
No contest here: Philly sports fans would say the way we "show our passion" ...yeah, Booing guys like Mike Schmidt & Del Ennis outta the ballpark LOL.
(I was there for Schmidt and my neighbor dated Ennis.)
Or devotion to preserving the beautiful land around us. We have shown the country that you don't need to be a cookie cutter mess to have national recognition. You won't find to many large sprawling areas in Boulder. There is plenty of new, but we keep our footprint small and our yards even smaller. Who needs yards when you have over 200 named peaks, and world reknown indoor and outdor facilities in your own neighborhood, and just down the road is Denver.

We're the father of the skyscraper, and home to the tallest skyline in the west.
Hehe, Chicago may be the father of the modern skyscraper, but I believe it was St. Louis who claims to have had the first skyscraper, which is not a skyscraper by today's standards, The WainWright building. Seems like Chicago likes to take credit for a lot of things St. Louis originally pioneered...maybe it's just me. Chicago and St. Louis have just as many issues I think as Milwaukee and Chicago do, if not more. Just another example of Midwestern cities duking it out, sigh....
