Crain's Chicago Business spoke asked international journalists in Chicago to cover the NATO summit how they viewed the city. Those who were included in the video below—who were secluded in McCormick Place for the duration of the summit—had favorable impressions of Chicago that seemed to at least go beyond the standard "Al Capone! Bang bang!!" and "Michael Jordan" answers normally received.

We especially liked RAC1's Marc Tio's references for Chicago being The Fugitive and The Dark Knight before responding, "Of course New York is awesome, but I could see myself living in Chicago!"

You hear that, Gothamist? 'Nuff said.
