Even in other cities, Atlanta for example. When I lived there, there were PLENTY of suburbs that were filled with people that never went to downtown/midtown/buckhead. Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Kennesaw, etc.

If Chicago had never existed, how many of the successful suburbs would have been successful? If Chicago ceased to exist, how many of the successful suburbs would remain successful?
