Where is Chicago

Located on the Southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, in the northeast corner of Illinois, in the midwest of the U.S. lies Chicago.

Chicago's central location in the U.S. has made Chicago's O'Hare Airport a busy air traffic center for both business-to-business and commercial traffic. O'Hare officials like to call it the "busiest airport in the world", but since several other airports make that claim, it's hard to be sure who's math they're using.

History

Chicago History - DONE!!!

Chicago Culture

Chicago has enjoyed a rich cultural history. The World's Fair of 1893 sparked a great urban craving for local culture. The World's Fair of 1933 provided the city with many facilities to help house this culture. The "Loop", downtown area of Chiago finds an eastern border at Michigan Ave, bordered on the North by the Chicago River and 10 blocks north by Roosevelt Rd. This stretch of cityscape is fairly unique. Between Michigan Ave. and Lake Michigan there are extensive parks and public areas. The main road along the Lake is Lake Shore Drive. Between Lake Shore Dr. and "The Lake" there is only ONE private building when traveling north of downtown. This means that, for the most part, everyone in the city can enjoy miles of lake views and miles of open water access to this Great Lake.
