Chicago

The Ciy of Chicago, also known as "Chi-town" or "The Windy City" is the third most populated city in the United States, and is the largest city in Illinois. Chicago is a very unique city. It is very clean and well maintained with many flowers lining the medians. Unlike New York City, the people that live in Chicago are very friendly and not pushy. Chicago has a different mix of architecture from some of the oldest buildings to new and modern ones built within the past 10 years. A very historical building would be the "Water Tower Place" which was the only building left standing after a huge fire in the early 1900s. An example of a more modern piece of architecture would be "The Bean." The Bean is a symbol of Chicago portraying how it has grown to be a great center for music and tourism. There are large outdoor musical amphitheaters which is a great environment for people to gather.




Home of the Chicago Bears professional football team, the Chicago Cubs professional baseball team, and the Chicago Bulls professional basketball team; Chicago is a city very well known for its sports teams. The Cubs play on the very famous Wrigley Field shown to the left. In chicago, everyone are die hard fans no matter what sport you are talking about. Whether it is baseball, football, basketball, or hockey, Chicago locals are serious about sports.


Chicago holds a huge music festival called Lollapalooza on its very own Grant Park. From Grant Park you have the view of the downtown Chicago skyscrapers. Everything in Chicago is easily accessible. Near Grant Park is a great museum district that holds something for everyone from art to science.
