The Chicago Landscape

One of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in America, Chicago is also the third largest in the U.S. More than 25 miles long and 10 miles wide, its “Gold Coast” winds along Lake Michigan, where some of the world’s most valuable real estate is found. Often called “The Windy City,” Chicago is infamous for cold, snowy winters and hot, steamy summers.

A Taste of Chicago

Bad weather stops no one from partaking in all the city’s pleasures. There are 50 annual events and festivals, many of the most important cultural institutions in the country, glamorous shopping along Magnificent Mile, and named chefs which lend the city a reputation as a great culinary center. Yet Chicago is also a city of neighborhoods, of great sporting teams and important architecture. On a clear day, from the Skydeck of the Sears Tower, you can see forever, or at least all the way to Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana.
