Chicago Travel Overview

Since its humble beginnings in the beginning of the nineteenth century --- by 1835 it was just a little village on the Chicago River --- it has boomed with activity and received quite appropriately the name 'The City That Works'. By 1870 it had become the second largest city in the nation; catching up fast with New York City. Then in 1871 what started as a small fire in a stable far to the west of the city center; became a blazing inferno that destroyed the whole inner city. But Chicagoans were resilient and fought back; creating a whole new style of architecture in the process; called the skyscraper. But there's more to Chicago than the architecture. The city is vibrant with excellent jazz and blues scenes; two great ballparks; some of America's best dining and much more.
