Chicago is well known for house music and electronic dance music, blues, jazz, comedy, shopping, dining, sports, architecture, highly-regarded colleges and universities, and premier cultural attractions.
With a wealth of iconic sights and neighborhoods to explore, there's enough to fill a visit of months without ever seeing the end.
Districts
The most visited part of Chicago is its large central area, which
contains neighborhoods such as Downtown, River North, Streeterville, Old
Town, the Gold Coast, Central Station, the South Loop, Printer's Row,
Greek Town, and the Near West Side among others.
Collectively, these
neighborhoods contain many skyscrapers, attractions, and highly ranked
institutions. But there are also many attractions to be found in the
city's other districts.
Chicago consists of Downtown, the North Side,
the South Side, and the West Side - each Side named according to its
direction from Downtown. The Loop is the financial, cultural, retail,
and transportation area located within Downtown. Another region in the
Central Area is North Michigan Avenue. This portion of Michigan Avenue,
and its adjacent streets, is called the Magnificent Mile and contains
high-end shops, retail, and restaurants.
The North, South, and West Sides of Chicago are not neighborhoods
themselves, they are large Sides of the city that each contain numerous
and varied neighborhoods. Residents tend to identify strongly with
their neighborhood, reflecting a real place of home and culture.
North and South Lions statues
These pair of statues are unofficial mascots of Chicago city. They have been in the front of the Art Institute of Chicago for over 100 years. They were recast in bronze and installed in front of the Art Institute when it opened to the public back in 1893. Sculptor Edward Kemeys claimed that while the South Lion is ‘attracted
by something in the distance,’ the North Lion is "ready for a roar and a
spring".
