What would happen if a war broke out between the cities of Chicago and Boston?|108141

It_s for a sociology/writing project--what do you think would happen? What would the conflict be over? How long would it last and who would win? How would Daley react? Thanx!

If the Cubs and Redsox both make the series, a war WILL break out!!!

I_m pretty sure Chicago would win... I have no idea what the conflict would be over. If we_re hypothesizing about a conflict that might arise in the future. I would say _Food_ is a likely scenario.

Chicago is the largest distribution hub in the midwest, with access to highways and waterways. As food shortages and rationing continue to be affected by climate change and growing population its not unlikely that Chicago, Chicago businesses, Chicago media outlets, the Chicago government, and citizens would control accessability.

If the conflict came to blows Chicago has a distinct advantage because of the access to production in the midwest. Weapons facilities and National Defense resources are scattered about Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Missouri. They_d also be able to sustain more stress on recruiting for a general militia. Many people across the region identify with Chicago as a metropolitan mecca, where as Boston can only draw from Massachusetts and the other five New England states, which aren_t very populated in comparison.

Finally Chicago would win due to longevity. If resources or morale began to wane a different kind of work ethic and competitive drive would generally take over the population, which incidentally is much more conservative and optimistic than is generally seen in New England. Politicians, like Daley, in Chicago are plenty adept at propaganda. They_d have no trouble blowing hot air to inject some vitality and support for sustained battle.

Daley would pretend not to know what_s going on but continue to bid for the Olympics.
There_d be a hell of a basketball game, though.

What places to visit in American states?|197901

Myself and a friend are planning on traveling all the American states in a few years time. Are there any places that anyone thinks we should definitely visit?

Get a book that tell you the most popular tourist attractions and a good map and go for it. There are alot of things to see here. I would want to see Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon and Hollywood and especially Four Corners. Oregon is fantastic as is Colorado. New York City would be good. I took an RV trip with my daughter for a year and we toured the U.S. The only place I wouldn_t bother with is the South. Atlanta and Charleston were pretty but most of it was sad. It was ugly as well as very unkind people who still think and act as they did before the emancipation proclamation. Most of the mid west is just open flat country with very little to see. But if you get a good book you can pick and choose where to go and what to see.

New York and Los Angeles are cool places to visit as far as big cities.
The redwoods in California.

Grand Canyon in Arizona, YellowStone National Park in Wyoming.

Miami, Florida. (the State of Florida has most of
the theme parks like DisneyLand, and so on, but Miami is quite a unique city)

Las Vegas (the oasis in the desert) Great for gambling, and other entertainment.

Chicago, Illinios.

The entire west coast.

The Entire east coast..... but the west coast is nicer and more picturesc in my opinion. Google the Pacific Coast Highway.

If you can afford it, I would recommend renting a car and traveling around to multiple locations throughout the country, but that would also require a ton of time, as well as money.

Plan your trip around National Parks. You_ll get to see a lot of American history and heritage as well as beautiful natural landscapes, etc. They tend to be inexpensive places to visit and you can get a National Parks Passport for 8 bucks and fill it with passport stamps along the trip so you_ll have a souvenir when you_re all done!

A trip visiting all 50 states will take a LONG time - the US is HUGE, and Alaska and Hawaii are very far-flung.

There are guidebooks that will describe the various attractions and sights in all the US states, as well as on-line sources. Each state has a department of tourism, so you could search _[name of state] tourism_ to get leads to info. Fodor_s and Frommer_s have printed and on-line guides to various states and countries.

If you decide to visit New York state, e.g. Niagara Falls, be sure and look into the Finger Lakes region of central NY. It was recently named the best lake destination in the world! It_s beautiful and quiet.

Here is a website that have lots of interesting places in its USA directories. Like list of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Hookah Lounges or Shisha Bar, Nail Salons, Food Paradise Restaurants - The Travel Channel, The Florida Keys and Key West

Michigan. we have the great lakes Lake michigan has the best beaches and a beautiful shore line. we also have over 300 waterfalls. The upper peninsula is breath taking. You need to see the upper Tahquamenon Falls and see Lake Superiors Pictured rocks National Lake Shore you have to do the boat cruise and go see The Porcupine Mountains also known as Lake of the Clouds

I_ll agree, NYC is definitely great to see, but Chicago is also quite amazing. and of course the surf on the oceans. Best places for that - Miami and Santa Monica. I_m quite jealous of your trip but I hope you have the best time!

well, i_ve driven from California to Vermont and i can tell you the west coast is nice, the east coast is nice, New England is nice, and everything in between is a sh!t hole. don_t bother with the mid west, the south, or Florida.

depends what your used to now.
i reccomend new york city though!or los angeles.but those places might be too in-your-face becasue of the fast-pace life.
if you want a laidback trip i reccomend miami

new york city!!! the greatest city in the world

New York City, duh!
