New article says Chicago one of the most overrated cities in the world:

and I quote

"Chicago
Spend a little time in the Windy City and you'll come to know a people obsessed with the answer to a question nobody else has ever asked: "Is Chicago a world class city?" As a former local, I can help. The answer is no. Chicago is a handsome, reasonably entertaining provincial capital. This used to be enough for Chicagoans, but then it wasn't, leading to a period of time, beginning around the turn of the new century, during which all manner of foolishness -- from baffling things built by celebrity architects to a slew of obnoxious restaurants -- was unleashed upon the city. Suddenly, everything was pretty much the same, except now it was way more expensive. Yes, the city has some iconic cultural institutions and that beautiful lakefront. But look too far past the glittering Potemkin village at Chicago's center and you'll find yourself near or at the bottom of a sad pile of poor to average.
Instead, try Go to Detroit. It's more honest. Also, there's a great art museum, a proper public market, some of the country's best architecture, the music scene is fun, the food scene is better than it has been in ages and the beer is better and much cheaper. Everything's cheaper. Also: Detroiters are friendly -- Chicagoans are just polite. There's a big difference."

being from Detroit I'll tell you Detroit sucks compared to Chicago, but I have lived in and been to much nicer cities than Chicago, like Seattle, Portland, etc...

i laughed so hard. clearly this writer is relying on the hope that no one thats ever been to detroit will read his article. i've been there, and you couldnt pay me to go back. i could honestly Smell detroit the moment i got off the plane.. wtf is that about?
