They have a nice stretch of smaller high-rise (20 to 30 stories) up the Lake Shore from downtown for about 7 miles, and they also plan out their dense neighborhoods every well. It feels like a city where people enjoy living in. The North Side feels like what Revere should've had more of with high rises and density near the beach, if it were planned a bit more. A path like Chicago's Lake Shore path up to Revere Beach from Eastie would be an awesome addition. Revere feels so disconnected from Boston sometimes when it feels like it should be like the North Shore of Boston's footprint.I've always really liked Chicago. The music scene there is fantastic, and there seems to be a lot more high-rise residential. Also they seem to take better care of their road and transit infrastructure. I don't see as many rusty bridges and overpasses there, and they've been replacing portions of the old elevated railways with new ones.
"City of the Big shoulders" fits it well.
I haven't checked out the music much still, but I will next time! The food is nothing to underestimate either.
I, expectedly, still get caught up in the architecture and transit there every time so far
