I want to get around to writing a timeline at some point, and I thought a good way to start would be by writing a short timeline (probably 10-20 pages on Word) about Chicago. And as it's my hometown (well, almost), I want to wank it. Unfortunately, I'm a little short for ideas as to how.
So here's my question.... how do you keep Chicago as the US' second biggest city by 2011, with a population of over 15 million people in the metropolitan area, with a POD after 1850?
I thought about keeping the rail network strong and changing up Eisenhowers interstate highway system, but I don't think that would have a big enough effect. So how would you go about wanking Chicago?
I really appreciate having a hivemind that I can learn things from and get ideas from. This site is a great place to learn.
