If Chicago == NY, then who are Milwaukee, and Indy

Ok this thread is on a silly topic but I wonder what you guys think of this fanciful comparison. Chicago is obviously the dominant player in the Midwest by far, to our north about 90 miles is our smaller brother Milwaukee, and to our south (180 miles or so) our fair sister Indy. Now NY is the unquestioned 800-lb gorilla of the east coast, 200 miles to its north is its bratty brother boston, some 90 miles to its south is the fairest red-headed step child of major metros philly. In relation to Chicago what role do Milwaukee and Indy play ....who is Boston , who is Indy Come on try it just for shits and giggles>
