The Top 50 Skylines list came out recently, and Chicago was #6. having been left out of the top 5 by Tokyo. Tokyo?!?!

So here is my answer to that! I'll grant you that economics and necessity says several Asian cities will eclipse Chicago's skyline. Hong Kong is amazing. But Chicago will always be the birthplace of the skyscraper, and have a quality of architecture that is unmatched anywhere in the world. Even Hong Kong.

  • Chicago is a poor imitation of NYC? Please! Where were the first skyscrapers built? Oh yeah, CHICAGO! Who opened up the first department store? Oh yeah, Marshall Field, in CHICAGO! Fact is, you cocky NYC pricks have been copying off our city for over a hundred years, and as always, try and take the credit for yourself! Fuck NYC! It's a dump and people there are cocky assholes. If you don't like Chicago, then don't watch the fucking video and stop coming on here to rip on my hometown!

  • love it, and now im sooooo homesick.

  • @aidrianblue77 AMEN TO THIS COMMENT BROTHER!. &!. I'M FROM CHICAGO & I LIKE NYC MUCH BETTER!.

  • @MrFisher1990 that was in 2001, its way different now,,, trust me

  • @JohnFromChicago WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE AT 00:31!?. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • Getting between a Chicagoan and Chicago is like getting between a mother bear and her cubs. It may be the last thing you ever do.

  • @ChiTown7721 Ok, I want to stop you there. I LOVE Chicago. When I say love, I mean I want to marry it, become the mayor, and all that good stuff. But don't rip on NY. Granted, I've never been there. If I have to choose between Chicago and any other city in the U.S. Chicago would be it. Trust me, I understand that hometown feeling. I can understand it completely. So although I'm saying don't rip on NY, this is for all you others out there. Don't fuck with someone from Chicago!

  • @Izakokomarixyz

    funny you take that as saying Chicagoans are jealous because if you were observant there are NYC homers talking trash about Chicago on this vid. . . in which the NYC homer threw the first stone. People backing up Chicagoans when they're in defense mode says MORE POSITIVE things than the way you look at it.

  • im proud to say this is my home<3

  • A really nice video, thank you=) I'm happy you like Chicago too, i don't live there and I've only visited once but the time i spent there was wonderful, i think chicago is a magical place I really really loved it when I visited in October three years ago, it is such a fun and colourful city and the autumn Sun was shining nicely in chicago every day when i visited, it was a really great trip and the best week of my 19

    years of life so far =) i'm from north europe so far from Chi:(

  • I love watching this video when im so damn homesick.
