About Chicago
Chicago has it all. History. Style. Culture. A thriving nightlife, world-class museums, fascinating shops, and five-star restaurants. It's the birthplace of skyscrapers, and its towering skyline boasts the 110-story Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower). Its downtown "Loop" serves as the headquarters for major US companies and commodity markets. In short, Chicago has elevated rails and underground clubs; it's got zoos and blues. Even the sports are legendary.
Did you know?
How'd they do that? It was in response to a desperate need for safe drinking water from Lake Michigan that the Army Corps of Engineers reversed the flow of the Chicago River in 1900.
