But, will have to go with Chicago, as I'm from the Midwest, and do love the Windy City. With that said, if could pick another, Beantown is excellent. Boston has just about everything. I've only been to Minneapolis twice, but was very pleasantly surprised. However, Chicago has so much more to offer, IMHO. Food, sports, shopping, nightlife, water front, culture, history, etc.
Interesting that don't have StL as a choice, and that there are 6 midwestern vs. 4 nor'eastern towns...
St. Louis needs to be on that list of cities in the Midwest, after all it is fourth largest behind Chicago, Detroit, and the Twin Cities. I have a general preference for the Midwest over the Northeast anyway...don't know why...guess living here all my life it has been a good experience for me. Climate it is hard to compare these two because overall they are very similar. The Midwest can get colder than the Northeast, but the Northeast can get more snow than the Midwest.
Steve-O,,, why Milwaukee over Indy and/or Cleveland? Just curious...
Kinda surprised w/ Philly being that high too...
Milwaukee is cool, it really is. I love its old neighborhoods, lakefront location, access to Madison and beautiful SW Wisconsin and Door County. Its VERY American, and I like that.
Cleveland is ok, but its lakefront isnt as nice, and I wasnt crazy about it. Its not a bad city by any stretch of imagination, but Milwaukee is cooler, thats just my opinion.
Indy? Blah. Never really been crazy about that place whatsoever. I did the canal walk downtown, that was ok. LOL

I'm pretty sure that Millwaukee , cleveland, and Indianapolis, are bigger than stl.

In their metro areas, you have got to be joking I like to compare cities based on their metro areas. Metros IMO are the only logical way to compare two cities to each other unless you are comparing the biggest cities in the United States to each other, and even then I still think its better to look at the metro areas. St. Louis has between a million to a million and a quarter more people in its metro than Indy, half a million more than Milwaukee, and I believe is also a bit larger, nearly as large, or as large, as Cleveland's MSA depending on whether or not Akron is included. Cleveland and St. Louis come close tying to for fourth largest and it all depends how one looks at it. Indy and Milwaukee have a long way to go if they hope to overtake St. Louis as far as their metro sizes go. For metro areas, Cleveland is arguable for being bigger or not as big as St. Louis. Both of these cities in their metros are either fourth or fifth largest in the Midwest...depending on how you choose to define Cleveland's MSA.
