Chicago is basically the capital of the Midwest and it is most certainly a real city. Unless if part of the criteria of being a real city like NYC is smelling like trash, then Chicago isn’t a real city since they hide trash in the alleys rather than leaving it everywhere
Does Chicago have a decent transit system? If I was rich and lived in Chicago is it conceivable that I don’t own a car? To me a city without trains or a subway is a large town
Also I didn’t know Chicago was Midwest because I forgot where it is lol. Illinois sounds like a state that is in the middle of nowhere in my head so I guess that makes sense.
Also weird that Midwest emo is a music genre, but there’s no Midwest rap even though Kanye and Chance the Rapper are from there.

I’ve only been to Chicago a couple times but I never felt like I was missing out on not having a car there
