I guess politics in DC counts. I thought about Miami but couldn’t quite put my finger on what influence they have. And what about Boston?

And why does Chicago go at the bottom? I figured the combination of many corporates + the Chicago School would bump it up

I’ll admit my bias (lived NYC/Seattle)
Boston was significant in US history for the Plymouth Colony / Start of Revolutionary War. Also
’s biggest college town (has Harvard/MIT/250 others)
Miami is featured in many Movies for the beaches & is a fashion / arts center1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

In my mind, Chicago is just significant as a transit hub:
trains converged there in the 1800s
United and American Airlines use it as a hub today
Were you thinking of another culturally significant asset that Chicago has?pic.twitter.com/6fO80QE4zw

The corporate headquarters, management consultants, commodity markets, and the Chicago School
