Why didn’t this city influence the world to the same extent that NYC and LA did?

Am I supposed to know what city that is from the pic?

I just assumed that it's Chicago since it was considered the Second city of the USA before LA took over

being in the middle of the country instead of at either end hurts a lot when it comes to world recognition. its also a shit city, but so are LA and NYC so idk
JFK is based and Obama is decent but everyone else related to chicago politics needs to be gassed

If it weren't for Hollywood nobody would know about LA.

>people wouldn't know about the biggest city in California
doubt.mp3

WoW is that Warsaw?

does the average italian know which is the biggest city in texas?

Not really, but California is much more relevant than Texas.
People also know San Diego even though there's nothing particular there except for Tijuana.

it is better if we keep any talk or hype of chicago on the down low, and just occasionally mention how violent it is. keep people away. as a chicagoan, i dont want endless seas of tourism, i dont want rich californians and new yorkers to start moving in and investing in properties only to raise the price of rent and cost of living for everyone and everything. it is better to just ride under the radar, which chicago has done quiet well with for being such a massive historic city. chicago has maintained its soul lets not mess her up.

"Houston, we have a problem" is one of the more well-known memes among normies

That doesn't really translate into the average Italian knowing that
1.Houston is a city
2.It's the biggest city in Texas

First skyscrapers, jazz and country music. Best pizza and hot dogs and the world fair of 1893.

Well it's a pretty decent polish city either way.

I know the feel, this has happened to colorado/denver over the past decade. The population of colorado has grown by 1 million over the past decade, 1/3rd of the pop here are transplants from california, google opened a headquaters along the front range and slowly immigrating its own silicon valley. The average price for a home was around $185k, now you'd be lucky to find one under $350k. 1 bedroom apartments on average, even in small towns are reaching $1400 a month. There are thousands and thousands of housing projects under contruction and they are all just over priced soulless condos and bland apartment buildings that no one can afford even though they are being built in the middle of nowhere. It is very hard for even a middle class family to survive here anymore. I hate what has happened to my cowbow city, they've turned it into a tech hub.

>Not really, but California is much more relevant than Texas.
why? i doubt people who know california exists don't know about texas as well

what are the 3th, 4th and 5th cities?

Modern days in order are Chicago, Houston and Atlanta.

Chicago was 2nd until the 20s or 30s and took the second spot from Philadelphia

damn, texas and cali take over the top 15 most populous cities.

nyc (ny)
la (cali)
chicago (illinois)
houston (tex)
phoenix (arizona)
san antonio (tex)
san diego (cali)
dallas (tex)
san jose (cali)
austin (tex)
jacksonville (florida)
fort worth (tex)
colombus (ohio)
san francisco (cali)

california and texas are fucking massive. also im not sure what the 3rd,4th,5th cities technically are. the east coast were the settlers. then chicago happened and it exploded early on. chicago had like 2 million more people than it has now during the 30s/40s/50s i think, which is crazy to think about.

oops i forgot philidelphia in pennsylvania, thats like the 6th most populous. cant wrap my head around how phoenix has more people than philly.

shit ranking

ah that makes more sense. but still, wow. that's more people than 99% of american cities have in total. theres a handful of states that are half that size.

yeah i wasnt getting into like, the "metropolitan populations". gonna save your image.

Chicago has Lithuanians which makes it the second worst place in the world.

>my metropolitan area is the only one on that list to have ZERO pro sports teams
it's not fair, and no, anaheim doesn't count

they invented deep dish pizza

we have lots of lithuanians, ukrainians, and polish.(and secret russians) cant walk through parts of the city without hearing accordion music and smelling borscht and goulash

house music

No one has actually eaten this outside of the US I think. Not a lot of people have even heard about it.

I used to live near the lithuanian Museum. Never been to it but the building looks nice

Give me a fucking (you) next time

refrigerated mass transport was invented in chicago. way back in the day before the fires, a large portion of the city was dedicated to the meat trade and cattle. if you have meat in your home that isn't butchered fresh off the local farm, then you're experiencing chicago influence.

Not to mention. All the meat packing plants that feed thw grandparents and great grandparents of the yuropoor posters after they destroyed themselves twice.
