About Chicago

Chicago rises from the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan with a skyline so bold it seems to lean into the wind off the water. The city gave the world deep-dish pizza, the blues clubs of the South Side, and the rumbling elevated train, the "El", that loops through the heart of downtown. Along the riverwalk, the Chicago River runs a brilliant green every St. Patrick's Day, a tradition the city has kept alive since 1962.
