I don't know. There are a lot of cool downtowns. I do like how all the outdoor public transit stops have heaters in Chicago though.

I was thinking parts of Portland actually. But right outside downtown.

Portland? Aesthetic? Compared to Chicago?

I must've missed that part.

I was excited to go to the PNW for the first time and my first impression driving into Portland (coming from San Francisco) was "what the fuck is this?"

Not saying it's not a cool place, just aesthetically it was very underwhelming.

Columbus, Charleston, Savannah, Boston

Columbus lol, nice sized city with some things going on but the scale is incomparable. Charleston and Savannah are both lovely but share practically nothing in common with Chicago. Boston is a comp.

Comparing Columbus to Chicago is crazy 😭
