    I live in Chicago, which is a major city. So I’d say Chicago, believe it or not, I guarantee more people are familiar with the city than Illinois.

    But if I lived somewhere else in Illinois, I’d say the state.

      When I hear “Illinois”, I think generic midwest–agriculture, some manufacturing. When I hear “Chicago”, I think major metropolitan area. So you’re pretty spot-on.
