20. Chicago Market

Too far to be a suburb.
Industrial city of around 65,000.
Now, it's the commercial center of a county of 700k, 250,000 of whom live within 8 miles of downtown. The city has around 160,000 people today.
My Wife & I are both from there although we didn't meet until after college. We both went K-12 there. She even went to a small university there.
We still live within a half hour of there.
Still lots of process industry & logistics but little discrete manufacturing remains.
It was the opposite when I was a kid.
