I was catching my train home today in the land down under and there was an ad, apparently paid for by the City of Chicago, saying that Chicago was voted the best city in the U.S.A and telling people to come visit
And all I could think was, I must tell Sam, I'm sure he will have thoughts(tm)
LOL, I will admit my first reaction was "By whom?" and "For what?"
I mean, I love Chicago and think it's a great city, but I don't know if there's any metric by which it is actually the best city in America, unless you confine your sample size to "people who live in Chicago" and even then, like, we don't tend to have many illusions about this place. It's a great city to be a tourist in but there are better ones, depending on what you're touristing for, and there's not much going on in winter outside of shopping. We have some world-class museums, but New York has bigger, and while we do have some of the nicest parks around, nobody visits Chicago for the parks. We have a lot of summer festivals but not as many or as large as say, Austin.
I'd love to see a photo of the ad if you happen to see it again, or know who placed it -- it must be a tourism board of some kind. But Australia? Advertising for Chicago in March, when it's freezing here and probably very pleasant there, is a real choice someone made.
I wonder if an airline subsidized it. We have a hub, so it could be some airline that just opened up flights between Chicago and Australia wants to encourage people to travel.

Oh gosh, I visited for the first time last year in October and absolutely fell in love with the city! I just got back from my birthday trip to uptown Chicago, where I was scoping out the neighborhood u want to live in.
Maybe New York has better parks and museums and Texas better events but I think Chicago is pretty great. Plus the public transit system is very rad imo.
Uptown's a great first place to live in Chicago! I mean it's a good place to live in general, but it's a good landing place until you can get to know the city and see if you like somewhere else better. I lived just off the Sheridan red line stop for ages.
I don't even think New York necessarily has BETTER museums -- the Art Institute of Chicago Museum has been voted best museum worldwide a handful of times -- but they are more and more diverse, I think. And yeah the public transit system is one of the major reasons I moved here!
I do love Chicago. I could never live in New York or LA or Austin. It's just funny to me that someone's advertising for it in MARCH. Though I guess it makes sense if we want people to come visit in June or July when it's really nice.

They have turned the Palestinians into actual Guinea pigs for the military industrial complex.
We will see the robots and miserable remote controlled dogs at the next big BLM protest on American soil soon enough.
