Hmm idk I mean I feel like other than the airport it’s just not a major city anymore. Like the last time I heard about it on the news it was about providing condoms to 5th graders 💀

I mean John Hughes use to based all these huge movies in the Chicago suburbs. So that helped a lot! I would not say that Chicago isn’t a major city. We are still in the top 4. But it’s just cheaper to make movies in other states now.

Yeah like I said it’s just cheaper in other states to make media, for example marvel makes their movies in Georgia now. but there’s still a really big art scene in Chicago it’s just New York and La are flashier. But we still got The Bear.

That’s because most of the ones you’re thinking of are written by John Hughes who’s from Chicago
