Chicago

Chicago, urban city


 Chicago is a huge city in the States, with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation you can stay and enjoy. Chicago is located in the Midwest along the Great Lakes shoreline. It is the third largest city and metropolitan area in the United States with a city population about 3 million and a metro population nearly10 million inhabitants. 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".
