Yes, I feel the same way! I finally got to visit for the first time a few weeks back, and I was so blown away by the magnitude of the skyline. There's no other skyline that has that kind of impact anywhere in North America aside from NYC. Chicago was a lot bigger than I expected...the downtown area is vast compared to the FiDi here in San Francisco (just using that as a reference point).
