Chicago is not only Frank Sinatra's "kind of town, it's a city very much appreciated by many people. Chicago is also cosmopolitan and cultured as San Francisco, although the street-wise New York is the city that unites this great country - the "heart" of America, if you want. In terms of music and art, Chicago has always been ahead of its time: while New York "shows us what is," Chicago "shows us what was BE".
