But that might just be Berlin.

I wish Chicago had something akin to a Berghain for house music in an industrial building in the CMD (I think I've brought this up before on this forum and been called crazy). It could be a global destination for one of our greatest cultural exports, and I particularly like the idea since I think Chicago has the potential to be the US's Berlin in terms of creative communities (balance between institutions/access to financial backing and distance from key market/high expenses of other cities, making it a great place for less market-driven artists to live/work).
But Chicago in general seems to suffer from not having a coherent brand, the way NY, LA, SF or even Portland does.
