Truly one of the greatest cities in the entire nation. With a total population exceeding 2.9 million inside the city limits alone, multiple cultures and ethnicities, cool-sounding urban, midwestern nasal accents (see ear
candy), a rich history, tons of museums, theaters, arcades, the Brookfield Zoo; the best pizza outside of New York City, and probably one of the best city skylines in the United States, Chicago has something to offer to everyone. It is a higher standard of a metropolis that all other American cities strive to be
like(and many of them have succeeded in that: see Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Detroit,
Atlanta, DC, Denver, Omaha, and Seattle.
Chicago is the
ultimate economic, cultural, educational, business, entertainment,
industrial, and population center of the
Midwest.
