^ Lol. True. Except maybe the part about "perception" and media hype not equating to reality. On tv we see a cleaned up version of NYC. My views expressed are mainly those of the group I went there with. I already pretty much knew what it was like from my business trips... although I saw more of the place this time around. But back to my group... they had a view of NYC being somewhat clean and definitely at least landscaped... and they had no idea about the broken sidewalks, broken up streets, wall to wall tourists, the level of the noise and layers of dirt and soot. Those are things rarely talked about today and you definitely don't see it today on tv or in the movies.
And the part about Chicago feeling taller is an interesting take that my group had... and it is something rarely discussed as well.
