Chicago information
Chicago has the cosmopolitan flavor of any world-class city, mixed with a
friendly Midwestern demeanor. The Windy City has much to offer visitors,
including phenomenal museums, high-class shopping, legendary sports figures, and
a beautiful location on the shore of Lake Michigan.
Several historical events shaped the city in distinct ways. The Great Fire of
1871 destroyed the city and required a massive reconstruction that led to
Chicago's cutting-edge architectural face. The migration of blacks from the
South in the early 20th century brought a strong African-American presence to
the city and spawned cultural achievements, such as the unmistakable sound of
Chicago-style blues. The ethnic neighborhoods outside of downtown, settled by a
flood of immigrants from all over the world at the turn of the century, give the
city a rich diversity.
Those newcomers arrived in Chicago to work in steel mills and meatpacking
warehouses. The city quickly became the hub of America's freight and passenger
trains, a key supplier for the East and Midwest. Poet Carl Sandburg was inspired
to describe the city as "Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of
Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky,
brawling, City of the Big Shoulders."
Today, Chicago maintains its status as a brawler, a metropolis of great heft.
The city that was ruled by machine politics for 50 years became a transportation
center of a different sort--O'Hare International is the largest airport in the
world. Stockyards and factories have been replaced by the Sears Tower, one of
the tallest buildings in the world, and other soaring downtown skyscrapers that
helped create high-paying jobs in finance, law and other areas.
Chicago has developed into a city that is anything but typical. The Loop, the
lakefront business district named after the elevated train that circles it, is a
larger-than-life exhibit of modern architecture. Still-thriving ethnic
neighborhoods--the Windy City has one of the highest percentages of immigrants
of any American city--feature the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and other modern
architects. If shopping is more to your liking, grab your pocketbook and let
loose on the famed Michigan Avenue. Or leave sightseeing to the tourists and
escape the crowds of shoppers. Venture into the glorious Grant Park, dig your
toes into the sand along the shore, or set sail on Lake Michigan's vast waters.
