Chicago is a pretty double edged sword. On the one hand, they are (and have been for years) trying to become a tourist destination with summer home condos.. though those are probably going nowhere (it has been decades since anyone talked about that. They've also got lots of economic support and a larger pool of applicants for jobs simply because of the short commuting times. But, the example you gave is a great example how the relationship between Chicago and Milwaukee also hurts Milwaukee's ego.
