It wasn't a ridiculous suggestion, I simply interpreted the thread question differently than you did.
If you asked 100 random Illinoisians what their favorite city in the state is, the #1 answer would undoubtedly be Chicago.
Conversely, if you asked 100 random Illinoisians what their least favorite city in the state is, the #1 answer would undoubtedly be Chicago as well.
This is probably a common phenomenon in states that are so thoroughly dominated by a single giant alpha city as Illinois is by Chicago. The situation breeds large amounts of both favor and contempt.
It's kinda hard to live in Illinois and be indifferent about Chicago. It fucking runs the whole state, for better or worse, depending on your perspective.
