London notices the hometown.

London notices the hometown. "...this is a city buzzing with life, humming with prosperity, sparkling with new buildings, new sculptures, new parks, and generally exuding vitality." The Economist, on Chicago.

True, and we also have better food than the UK, last time I checked. And at over 9 million people, the Chicago area ranks two spots higher on the world city population scale than greater London.

Vitality indeed. If the media in Chicago had less of an inferiority complex, we would be writing about you as if London were some sort of discovered frontier.
