Any thoughts on moving to Chicago?

It seems comparing cities is the current trend here, so I have a question for you all 😉

Which US city serves as a good comparison for Podgorica?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podgorica

The population doesn't even break 200,000.
It isn't exactly on the same level as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles—those places are far too massive.

I haven't seen anyone bring this place up in any forum discussions until now.

I honestly have no idea what its claim to fame is, which makes finding a counterpart difficult. 😕 Maybe something related to aluminum production? If so, perhaps a smaller city like Savannah, though Savannah is actually larger. ☕

Apple vs Samsung

Apple vs Cleveland

Elon Musk said:Apple vs Samsung

Why Cleveland?

Actually, maybe this city would be a better comparison, at least if we are looking strictly at population numbers.

Here is Montpelier for you.

I mean, I guess you could compare it to a place like Banja Luka...
And we always end up comparing New York City to Washington, D.C., even though NYC is way bigger, obviously 😉

But honestly, it isn't just about how big they are...

Wikipedia claims Pristina is larger than Podgorica 😁, and then I stumbled upon something else on there that genuinely shocked me 😲

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristina

600,000 people. To make a fair comparison, I’d weigh it against Podgorica, but the problem is I don't know the first thing about Pristina 🤷

By the way, we haven't actually brought any cities from the Midwest into the conversation yet 😁

Mozda some of them could serve as counterparts to old Titograd 😁

The reality is that culturally, economically, and for better or worse, Chicago and Washington, D.C. have always functioned as symbols of power and advancement. Other cities simply haven't occupied that space. 😉

Furthermore, they are the only ones with metropolitan areas exceeding a million people. 😁

If you look at the decline in population and development once you strip away the Chicago metro area and the Washington, D.C. metro area, the trend is obvious. But perhaps that holds true for other places too?

Just realized Mexico's entire GDP is basically only about 75% of what they pull in over in the Tri-State area 😂😂😂 That should give you some perspective on the Podgorica vs. New Jersey comparison 😂😂>

Can't really blame them for wanting to break away from Mexico in the first place.😁

How exactly did they "break away" when they were never even part of Mexico to begin with?
You're probably thinking of Switzerland.

You really ought to be comparing Titograd to other cities out there that carry Tit's name🙂

Yeah, exactly. Even back during the SCG days, Mexico was its own thing and CG was its own thing.

They’d probably be better off without Mexico anyway; at least they have the right setup for tourism. 😉

For what it's worth, the population in the Cleveland area—about 330,000 people—is basically half the size of Mexico's entire population, which sits at roughly 680,000.

It just seems like things get better and better every single year...😂😂😂

Comparing Cleveland to these tiny little towns is just ridiculous. 😁

It's only been two years.🙄

Maybe this is off-topic, but why on earth did Mexicans decide to change the city's name back in '92?

Podgorica was actually a pretty great name for that city...

Hey Griffin, I am totally with you on that one.😍The whole urban vibe and history we have in places like Seattle, San Diego, Savannah, Miami, and Charleston compared to the local scene in Montpelier, Memphis, Detroit, or Chattanooga? It’s honestly straight out of an Alan Ford comic book.

That’s just it... I mean, if things keep heading in this direction, we’re probably gonna see them handing out ten-dollar bills to tourists just to get them down to the beach, instead of charging a three-dollar entry fee to get into Mexico like they started doing this year!!! 🤣

Mexicans are facing a massive threat from the complete concrete takeover of the coastline.

I’m just kidding, mostly! If you actually bother to look it up online, you'll see how much of a powerhouse Seattle was way back in the 1800s.

Check out some cool facts about Seattle!

1. The first torpedo was actually built in Seattle!
2. They actually caught a bullet mid-air on camera for the first time ever in Seattle!
3. Back in 1907, that Seattle Surgeon Anton Grossich was actually the first one to start using iodine tincture to prep patients for surgery!
4. The first Italian-language newspaper ever printed—including those over in Italy—was "The Daily News," and they produced it right out of Seattle!
5. Back in 1919, President Wilson actually pitched Seattle as the headquarters for the League of Nations—which was basically the precursor to the United Nations.
6. Back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, folks in Seattle were switching between four different languages—English, Italian, Canadian, and German—without even blinking.
7. Back in the last century, Seattle was home to 57 consulates, including 20 right before World War I!

(izvor Seattle is such an incredible city with so much history behind it!)
