Type "second city" into google and see what I mean. Though the most hits will be the "Second City" comedy troop from Chicago.

Chicago is a real city. LA is a mass of suburbs. Take LA city proper and it's very unremarkable as a city.

Seattle, like NY but more clean, and just a nice change

Meh. I just moved to Seattle from Chicago. Seattle's closer to a small town, not a dense metropolis like NY or Chicago. I'm not saying that I don't like Seattle, but it's not even in the running for second city status.

Los Angeles isn't a city so much as a giant sprawl of crap.

agree about LA
but i think Chicago is much better known than DC

I think it's a toss-up between Chi-town and LA. Since LA is a sh1thole with terrible traffic that I wish would wash off of the United States coast, I voted for Chicago.
