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.
