My lord, what?! Three of the top 25 largest cities in the entire US are within 300 miles of Chicago (Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit), and the Twin Cities (3rd largest metropolitan area in the US, larger than Chicago itself) are only 350 miles away.

I'm nitpicking but Chicago is significantly larger (if you are talking metropolitan areas)

Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI MSA 9,498,716

Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI MSA 3,629,190
