CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA:
TOWERING OVER AMERICA

A center of architecture, commerce, and culture second to none.

Chicago is a colossus. A brawny city, “City of the Big Shoulders” in poet Carl Sandburg’s words, uniquely suited to advance a cluster of vital American industries and the architecture and environment of the newly developing urban United States while attracting a population of builders and laborers, frontiersmen and immigrants, former slaves and Native Americans, traders and artisans, writers and musicians. A one-of-a-kind city with its own brand of theater and jazz and blues and even its own style of comedy.

Chicago may be known in the American songbook as a “toddling town,” but it’s also a walking town, a cultural and educational town, an eating town and a music and entertainment town. You’ll definitely have the time of your life there.
