That really depends on (1) personal taste and preferences, (2) the personal experience one has had in either city, and (3) the extent of one's knowledge of what either city has to offer. You should really be careful about making such sweeping generalizations. In terms of cultural and tourist attractions, parks, recreation, residential neigborhoods with charm and character, geographic location, etc., Philadelphia and its surroundings are easily the equal of Chicagoland, and in many ways superior to it. But, as I said, which city one prefers is really a function of one's personal interests, preferences, and knowledge/personal experience of each city. So let's just leave it at that.
