NY, NY. To be honest, this is why I sometimes like Chicago more. NYC is a mess, especially to someone who hasn’t lived there. It’s got a billion different districts, tons of islands, inlets, bays, dozens of interstates, and so many skyscrapers on a tiny island that it looks like it’s going to crumble into the water. In Chicago, you have a single, continuous shoreline, north to south a park, a pier, and a beach, you have the express Lake Shore Drive, the shopping district Michigan Av., and two interstates going in an and out the city. Simple as that.
Does this look like a McDonald’s?
