I lived in Toronto for a couple of years as a kid. I love Toronto, though I don't know it all that well. That said, Toronto will never match the grandness of Chicago. Chicago, early in its existence, decided to create a monumental layout with a European, even Parisian feel to it. Wide thoroughfares with monumental buildings (museums and the like) placed at the end of them. Toronto, as a whole, is pretty much laid out as a simple grid. Toronto, and even my hometown Houston, will surpass Chicago in population in the not too distant future. Neither will ever, in my opinion, surpass the sheer "BIGNESS" of Chicago.
