just pointing that out
I cannot believe your ignorance, you just love to start things don't you. You just can't stop your caddy little attacks, instead of smearing Chicago you should be helping users in LA who need help with local info that involves your town.

Ha...well then. Guess I haven't been watching much tv lately. Time to get me some Wisconsin dairy.

Too funny. I'll vote for cows sitting in traffic on a freeway in the smog.

That Oberweiss guy has some good cows and pasture. His milk is like heroin, if I put a bottle to my lips I can't stop.

I'd like to see one of those commercials!

Oh, and I second the "cows sitting in traffic on a freeway in the smog" vote.

I have been to New York about ten times seeing how I live in New York state. I have been to Los Angeles twice, and Chicago three times. First off no city in the country has the energy that NYC has. LA is boring sprawled out and suburbish but it has its good qualities as w

I have been to all three places more than once. Basically NYC is awesome, there is an energy there like no other. LA is cool too. I like the vibe but different type of setting from Chi town and NY. Chicago was very cool as well and I did not get a midwest feel. I got a big international city feel. Both NY and chi town have an energy. the difference is in NY there is an energy throughout the whole city. In chicago there is an energy in some parts, and LA I did not feel any energy at all. More of a suburbish feel. I remember the first time in downtown LA, I thought, this is it. In Chicago I was in awe, but not quite like NY. However I agree with many others if your looking for a big city feel without the super high cost then Chi town is probably your best bet. However if you can afford it and you want a big city feel then theres no place like New York. As far as LA is concerned....well...you got colorful houses and cool movie posters.
