The best city in America and my “second home town!!” America’s 3rd largest urban area with almost 10 million people in 3 states (Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin) along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan. It is a very large metro area that may not be as big as New York or Los Angeles, but is America’s largest inland city and more metropolitan in profile than the latter (at least Chicago has cleaner air and adequate public transportation unlike L.A.). Its most common nickname, “the windy city” actually has nothing to do with meteorology. Although windy (especially during its frigid winters when winds come off Lake Michigan), it stems from its boasting politicians in the 1800s during the world’s fair about the city’s greatness, which it no doubt has. It is the cultural, commercial and transportation center of the Midwest and is a very diverse city with a lot to offer: beaches, a huge lakefront, arts, museums, culture, shopping along Michigan Avenue, awesome architecture (the Sears Tower is among the tallest buildings in the world and the city is building the Chicago Spire, which will surpass Sears as the tallest building in the U.S.), Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, the Gold Coast Dog and one of the world’s busiest airports. The Chicago Metropolitan area contains over half of Illinois’ state population. Not surprisingly, Chicago has so many things to see and do: Navy Pier, shopping along Michigan Avenue, going to a ball game, visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, the Adler Planetarium, the Lincoln Park Zoo or the Brookfield Zoo, go swimming in polluted Lake Michigan (unless it’s the middle of a frigid winter) or going to Lake Geneva for the weekend. The worst thing about Chicago may be its gang problem (who doesn’t have gangs?) and extreme climate: hot and humid summers and frigid winters. Just try exposing yourself to the winds of Lake Michigan in January. If climate is the worst thing about Chicago then I’d say things are pretty good. New York can go screw itself. New Yorkers are fake and Chicagoans are real. Chicago over New York any day.

Get the chicagomug. The capital of Indiana and second largest state capital. It may be America’s 12th largest single city (but it’ s metro area ranks 28th) and growing for some reason, but this city is Lousy with a capital-L. There is no diversity. No culture. No nightlife. No job growth. No high paying or high-tech jobs for that matter and most are in manufacturing. No greenspace. No scenery. No mountains. No lakes or even rivers. No seashore. No sizeable suburbs even though its largest, Carmel, has about 80,00 estimated however. Too many foreclosures. No reliable public transportation system. No lightrail system and NEVER will be. No sidewalks. And not even a descent skyline: it hasn’t changed since its tallest building, the Chase Tower was completed in 1990. The city is afraid of thinking big and only builds “skyscrapers” of only 20 stories or so that it considers tall for some reason. What a joke. Even smaller Nashville, TN will soon have a skyline that will be considerably larger. Indy recently ranked as America’s worst city for singles according to Forbes magazine. The city’s inefficient bus system called IndyGo uses buses that pollute pollute pollute. Not one city or school bus uses a hybrid or electric engine. And Indy’s people drive drive drive everywhere. Nobody takes public transportation because it hardly exists. For this reason Indianapolis is a major contributor to air pollution.
I can see why this place is called NapTown. It should be called ComatoseTown. Even cities half its size are more lively. I can see why it has the cheapest housing of any “large” metro area because nobody in America, except Indiana residents want to move there. Don’t move here unless you are at least in your thirties and have a family. If your single, stay away or go to Chicago. And to think, this city considers itself “world class.“ What a joke. If you are on I-65 going toward Chicago, keep driving because there is nothing here. It is lousy lousy lousy. And did I mention lousy?

Indianapolis is only a good city if you don't desire any architecture, nightlife, a high paying job, culture or diversity. It sucks for being a "large" city. It could be more considered a large town. Forget being world-class because it will NEVER happen.

Get the Indianapolismug. Don't be decived. It may be America's fastest-growing large city, but two-thirds of people who relocate there move out after about 3 years, according to the National Association of Realtors. The growth is totally fake becuase they don't stay. This proves that this shithole in the middle of the Mojave Desert is an overrated sewer that gets its money from nieve gamblers hoping to make a quick buck. What a bunch of fools. I can't figure out why this city is so popular. Do you like to lose your money?
1. it ranks #1 in car theft
2. it ranks #1 in methamphetamines and cocaine arrests
3. HIV is on the rise
4. more adult stores than any other U.S. city
5. foreclosure central. Many people are losing their homes
due to:
6. overrated housing costs
7. oppressive summer heat
8. one of America's most violent cities
9. more child kidnappings and child murders than any other U.S. city
Does this sound like a city you would want to live? I didn't think so. Why its growing so fast is beyond me. It's a shithole.

Get the las vegasmug. A big, cold, barren state of the United States and the 49th state admitted to the Union, lying on the far NW corner of North America. It has a whole plethora of mountains, river valleys and forests. With some 600,000 or so residents, it has the lowest population density of any state. Some 65% of the state is government-owned land. Juneau is the capital and Anchorage is the largest city.
The Ididarod dogsled race is in Alaska and is a major event.
No, Alaska is not a state where the only inhabitants are Eskimos. The Eskimos live mostly in villages in the far north and hunt and fish for food. Most of Alaska is white and primarily vote Republican.
Most residents in Alaska work in mining/extracting, government and tourism. Alaska was originally called Seward's Folly until oil and gold were found in the late 19th Century. Alaska has gobbles amounts of oil reserves and has the Alaskan Pipeline going from Fairbanks to Valdez. The state's huge oil reserves and natural resources actually make it one of America's richest state's per-capita.

Get the Alaskamug. The most important day of a woman’s life. A day invented by women for women, planned since their early childhood, to eventually rob a man of half his life savings he has worked his entire adult life to achieve. Immediately after a woman accepts her alleged Prince Charming boyfriend’s proposal, her estrogen immediately turns her into a bridezilla and she goes into high gear calling her mother and friends, reads every issue of Modern Bride Magazine to get ideas for her dress, the bridesmaids dresses, the cake, the invitations, the flowers, and scoures the internet for where to take the honeymoon. All this while the nonchalant groom-to-be takes it all in stride and brags to his buddies how he will finally be able to get some whenever he wants (forgetting the fact that he hopes his bride-to-be will never find out he’s screwing one of the future bridesmaids and having to get a home pregnancy test). The groom-to-be, knowing he will soon not be single anymore, gives an all out effort to go to as many bars, nightclubs or strip joints with his buddies while he can to find all the girls he can screw before committing to “the one.”
The couple allegedly lives in several years of bliss, only to eventually end when both lovers hate each other and seek a divorce attorney. The woman eventually gets the man’s balls thru his wallet by getting half his life savings that took his entire adult life to achieve.

A wedding is nothing more than an expensive day invented by women for women in an attempt to scheme a man of half his life savings it took his entire adult life to acheive.

Get the weddingmug. Where you live when you dont want to live in the inner city. It's a place of mostly middle-class homes, Walmart, soccer moms, SUVs, strip malls and the homes of corporate bigwigs. Suburbs in the United States began to spring up during the post WWII years as families left the central cities for a quieter, safer and more relaxed lifestyle. However some suburbs are just as poor as the inner-city itself. According to the US census, the number of persons living in the suburbs now outnumbers those in the central cities.

Get the suburbmug. A city that much of Indiana wishes belonged to Illinois and Chicago. A terrible city and industrial wasteland in northwest Indiana, next to Chicago, and one of the worst cities in the country to live. It is like 90% black and has a terrible crime problem. About 100,000 dirt-poor blacks live in this decaying--actually dying--Rust Belt city on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Gary was once the largest center of steel manufacturing in the country, until the 1960s, when the jobs were lost to overseas competition. The jobs and many people are gone and NEVER to return. Thank God that Gary does NOT represent the rest of Indiana. I'm sure that much of Indiana wishes Gary would belong to Illinois--let Chicago have it.
