Every city has them, but Chicago usually gets more of them. Whether it is Belushi, Garland, Vaughn, Cusack, Piven, etc. etc. fact is nothing is more annoying than these hypocrites kissing @ss to a city or suburb they left for California or New York. I don't blame them for leaving. If I made bank and my job was out in Hollywood and I could afford it, I would be gone and not play the "I would move back here if I could." No you wouldnt. For a city, Chicago has the biggest inferior complex out there. I grew up on the northwest side of the city. I hate when people from the midwest move here and are like, its like New York, but cheaper. It is zero like NYC on every scale imaginable. Having lived in NYC and DC area, no one on the east coast hardly ever mentions Chicago unless it is a sports game. Its fine to have moved, but please stop with the pandering Chi celebs. |

Of course it's kind of like New York. Not Manhattan and DC, which are bubbles unto themselves, but it certainly has more in common than with the northeastern cities than Los Angeles or Vancouver or Miami. |

I didn't think this is as much of a thing as it used to be when I was a kid--when Chicago was the second largest city in the nation and, in the year of my birth, the tenth largest city in the world!--but maybe it is still a thing. I think it is charming how anything that Chicago ever did first or anything we ever had that was the largest/busiest/awesomest in the world, we celebrate. On an architectural tour I was on with non-Chicagoans once, the guide had to stop to explain why it was important for Chicagoans to boast about having things like the largest steel-encased concrete skyscraper in the world. "You'd never hear anyone else brag about this," he said. I used to totally be into this as a kid. When NY city lost its power in the late seventies, I was like, "Sweet!" |

I hate the thought of Chicago losing prestige to Washington. What a shithole that place is. It felt like a simulacrum of a big city. You get away from the big marble stuff and it's Rosemont. |

DC is a city no one is from nor lives there permanently. It is a city consumed with itself. However, Chicago has a pretty decent sized footprint in DC. Everyone on the outside who talks about NY really means Manhattan. You think the average jamoke gives a fiddlers fart about the star power in Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, etc? Yet that is where most of NY is living. Chicago is a big, formerly industrial town that has transformed nicely into a business hub. That isn't glamorous but there is a ton of big business going on here. It's kind of like Frankfurt. Every flight to Germany seems to go through Frankfurt, even though that is not where you are going as a tourist. The reason is that business travelers are going there. Chicago has been the #1 spot for corporate relocation in each of the last six years. So, you may not know the name of the CEO of Boeing or Miller Coors like you would Gwyneth Paltrow, but their real world influence far outshines her. |

D.C. is a tiny little shit hole, N.Y. is filthy. |

Atlanta Hawks games are filled with famous rappers I've never heard of. Quavo, Cardi B, Two Chainz and a whole bunch of others who I only now know because I watch Hawks games. |

NYC is fucking gross. You can feel the dirt in the air. Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan. All of it. |

There are a lot of similarities between NYC and Chicago. People from NYC don't care about Chicago just like they don't care about any other city. It's the best city in America. Why would they? That doesn't mean they think Chicago is bad though. |

I've got this cute little bartender who works my club sometimes who was born in Frankfurt. She's half German and half Colombian. German is her first language but she speaks English with no accent. She pronounces "Frankfurt" in the proper German way. The first time she said it to me I had no clue what she was talking about. Shows what a sophisticate I am! |
