But clearly ingrained Midwest sentimentality is the only reason why any one would even dare suggest that “modern Chicago is more like 1930’s New York than New York is”! And also to parallel riding horses in Central Park to riding horses in Old Town, or taking art classes in Florence to taking classes at the Art Institute, which is intellectually and culturally offensive, but not as bad as the "modern Chicago" comment. But I hope she keeps writing just with more unbiased truth telling depth. Salute!</p>
