What the web tells us about Chicago

Soon I will visit the famous "Windy City" for the first time, Chicago, and I have been researching exciting places that I should stay.

It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to keep up with Chicago. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time." — Mark Twain, 1883

Here is a little story:

According to the official City of Chicago Website, this city is where many people from diverse backgrounds call home.

Before it was a city, it was the home to numerous indigenous peoples, a legacy that continues to frame our relationship with the city, the land, and the environment.

Today, Chicago has become a global city, a thriving center of international trade and commerce, and a place where people of every nationality and background come to pursue the American dream.

Chicago, a pioneer city

As the website mentioned above indicates, Chicago was the birthplace of:

  • the refrigerated rail car (Swift)
  • mail-order retailing (Sears and Montgomery Ward)
  • the car radio (Motorola)
  • the TV remote control (Zenith)
  • The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, ushering in the Atomic Age, took place at the University of Chicago in 1942. The spot is marked by a Henry Moore sculpture on Ellis Avenue between 56th and 57th streets; and
  • The 1,451-foot Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower), completed in 1974, was the tallest building in the world from 1974 to 1998.

7 main activities to do in the "Windy City."

The "Web Get Your Guide" offers us many popular and cultural options, including average tourist prices. It is impossible to know everything that Chicago offers us in just five days, so we will focus on the basics.

What residents don't see, but tourists appreciate

People said, "no one values what they have." And in a way, it is so. maybe it is the habit of always seeing the same thing, perhaps it is that we do not appreciate something until we have not it in our hands. The same thing happens in the places where we live (countries, states, cities, and even continents). We complain about so many things that we don't see the positive things that are in front of our eyes.
