08seniors08, I lived in Berlin for a year and have been to Chicago more times than I can count. Although those cities don't have a lot in common, they are both world-class cities with frigid winters! hehe!

Barcelona and Chicago actually have some things in common, such as their crazy architecture, big time beach/lake front locations and resilient, friendly and outgoing populations that love to have a good time.

But I was not comparing those three cities to each other because I think they are similar. They aren't. Each of those cities in unique, which is why they are considered great cities of the world. I was comparing them in terms of their significance and overall quality. Of course, preferences are personal. Some people love Detroit! hehe! But most people with attachements to neither city (such as myself) would agree that Chicago is a more pleasant and fun city thant Philadelphia.
