Which is bigger, Manhattan or Chicago?
84819
If you're asking about land area, Chicago is bigger.  The land area of Chicago is 234 SQ Miles while the area of Manhattan is 85 SQ Miles.  Realize that Manhattan is just one of the Burrows of New York City.  While the city of Chicago is both larger and more populated than Manhattan, the city of New York is both more popluated and larger then Chicago.

New York was briefly (1789-90) the U.S. capital and was state capital until 1797. By 1790 it was the largest U.S. city, and the opening (1825) of the ERIE CANAL, linking New York with the GREAT LAKES, led to even greater expansion. \nIn 1898 a new charter was adopted, making the city Greater New York, a metropolis of five boroughs. Massive IMMIGRATION, mainly from Europe, swelled the city's population in the late 19th and early 20th cent. After World War II, many African Americans from the South, Puerto Ricans, and Latin Americans migrated to the city in search of jobs.

It is in the state of Illinois which is in the Midwest. Chicago is famous for its slaughter houses for cattle and for former Mayor Richard Daley who blasted a speaker at the National Democrat Convention in 1968. That division in the party cost Hubert Humphrey the presidency. It is also called the Hub of the U.S. because so much shipping goes through Chicago to the rest of the country. \n\nI hope this helps.

It depends quite a bit on where, in each city or state, you want to live, and what kind of apartment you're looking for. You can get a nice (not spectactular, but nice--clean, big enough, etc.) 1-bedroom apartment on the North side of Chicago for $800 or so. I don't know what rents are like on the South side. Manhattanis a nightmare--a closet-sized, cockroach-infested studio apartment will easily run you $1200 at least, and on top of that you will probably have to hire a broker to GET you that rat trap, so there's another grand or so out the window. San Francisco is also quite expensive, although the apartments I've seen seem nicer than the ones I've seen in New York. A decent 1-bedroom in Los Angeles will run in the neighborhood of $1000. I don't know about other areas in California. Of all the places mentioned here, Chicago is the cheapest.

How about Louis Armstrong? He wasn't born there, but he really triumphed when he moved to Chicago.\n\nAlso, use google and start exploring -- use chicago history music artist as your search term.
