I've sensed it from Chicago-ans for sure, but yeah not like Texans.

If you don't like Chicago, you don't like the American big city. That's fine, but it's pretty great.

Although I'm sure I'll be cast as "one of those Chicagoans" I agree with this.

I love Chicago. It's a fun city and I got lots of friends there that I love to visit.

But you know how 'muricans feel about Europe or the French? They think they are stuck up, snobby and smug bastards.

Ya, that's kinda how the midwest feels about a large chunk of Chicagoans.

It's an inferiority complex. St. Louis has always had one.

I like Chicago, I [expletive] alot about certain things but especially after having an apt down in Wrigleyville for a year I came to see another side of the city. But it's not one of the great cities of the US let alone the world. It's the best city in the midwest, which is like being the prettiest girl at an ugly contest.

I just don't know why every thread about another US city is about Chicago here. And it's usually non-Chicagoans who start them.

I think the US has 3 world class cities - New York, San Francisco and Chicago. I've been all over the world and I feel Chicago delivers the goods.

I've never lived there and probably never will. But like New York and San Francisco, I think I would enjoy living there if I could live in the city, not the 'burbs.

I would want the full urban experience.
