Chicago. Illinois.

Description:

You may know it as The Windy City or the home of deep-dish pizza and insanely over-loaded hot dogs. You may know it as the place where Ferris Bueller played hooky and the Blues Brothers went on their “mission from God."

As the home of the Sears Tower, Al Capone, corrupt politicians, scorching summers, and heinous winters. But no matter how you know Chicago, it is truly a unique place. A big city mixed with Midwestern friendliness, its urban superstructures nestled along lakeshore beaches. It is a town where you will put on the heat and the air conditioning in the same day.

Chicago is the perfect compromise between Los Angeles and New York City; it’s not too large, too work-crazed, or too image-obsessed. This is the kind of place that dyes the river green on St. Paddy’s day, roots for the Cubbies even though they haven’t won the World Series since 1908, and uses folding chairs to claim parking spots in the winter.

Chicago is a town with spirit, a hard-working attitude, a sense of humor, and plenty of entertainment. You will never run out of things to do here. Frank Sinatra famously sang that Chicago is “my kinda town,” and with all that it has to offer, it’s easy to see why.
