1. This is a perfect example of east coast people being insufferable. You aren't the only relevant part of the country, get you head out of your @$$.
First off, I'm sorry that YaBoyNY had to spread his filth, and I do hope that you recognize that he doesn't represent the rest of us Easterners.
That happened almost 50 years ago now. Yes, their sports fans are horrible, but when I went to Philadelphia last summer, nobody threw beer bottles with me, and the people who I did interact with were nice.
Unfortunately, I can't say that I've ever been to Chicago, but the city I live in right now has a great coast, and it's in the Northeast. True, Boston doesn't have much of a coast to speak of, but it's just an hour or two away from Cape Cod, and I have no doubt that the New England suburbs are cleaner. As for nightlife, Chicago does lead in that aspect.
