Chivalry Not Dead in Chicago

Is chivalry dead? Depends on who you ask. We walked someone to a bus stop last night, so we'll count that.

Dockers (yes, the pants brand) asked that very question and set up a decidedly non-scientific method to gauge which cities are the most chivalrous. Using a young woman or mature man struggling with a stack of files, one out of every 20 Chicagoans would stop to help. This ratio placed Chicago third in the survey, behind Atlanta and San Francisco. No word on whether the woman or man in the experiment told the chivalrous, "Nice Dockers."

We think a more empirical method is needed. Who would give up their dibs to a more needy driver?
