CHICAGO

Destinations and Interests


It's been called the city of broad shoulders.
Sit on Chicago's shoulders and you see a town that deserves its reputation as a world-renowned business center, with companies like Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Lucent, and Molex, among many others, maintaining offices here. Urban action that rivals Los Angeles and New York and a super setting right on Lake Michigan - the Windy City's got it all.

Its wonderful ethnic mix makes for a rich diversity in both neighborhoods and cuisine. It's a place that offers killer kosher hotdogs, the original Uno's pizza and Italian beef sandwiches alongside cutting-edge cuisine that inspires any gourmet appetite.

But Chicago is much more than food, it's a melting pot with a proud immigrant heritage and cosmopolitan flair. Chicago also offers plenty of venues for art, sports, music, theater, opera, architecture, shopping or just walking around. Name your cultural passion or pastime, and Chicago's got a top-notch offering!

Get cross-eyed staring at Seurat's famous pointillism at the Art Institute or get crazy watching the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Walk around Buckingham Fountain, Lincoln Park and Navy Pier, or tour the city's Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and famous Louis Sullivan skyscrapers. Tool around Lakeshore Drive or shop Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile.

While you're out exploring, you never know who you might bump into. Chicago has been called home by Oprah, Roger Ebert, Buddy Guy and a bunch of other happening folks.

If you like Midwestern candor and Great Lakes adventures with your big-city excitement, you'll feel right at home here.
