What is your favorite large city in the Midwest? (best, state, people)

[dmt28]

What is your favorite city or cities in the Midwest? I'm thinking primarily in terms of raising a family and the economy.

None of the above, it would be Grand Rapids, MI.

Which Springfield is listed? Missouri, Illinois, Ohio,....?

[Kansascrip]

You put Lincoln, and not Omaha.

St. Paul, but it's not on this list. St. Paul ≠ Minneapolis. They're two different cities, folks.

I think that the best large city in the east-southeast portion of the east-northcentral portion of the United States is Columbus, OH.

I meant it to be Springfield, IL

^But Springfield MO is larger and much more interesting. Did you include Springfield IL because it's a capital city? It can hardly be considered a "large city" by any measure.

If Rod Blagojevich didn't want to live there, then it must not be too nice.

I honestly doubt the majority of people who voted in this poll know very much about any of these cities except Chicago...This thread was destined to be an obvious Chicago victory.
