The
magnificent urban symphony of Chicago, with a fantastically long
lakeshore scalloping its eastern border, is Illinois’ crescendo.
Small town folks might point a traveler to the state’s forest
preserves and claim that Chi-Town is a big, ruinous city, which
is true. But this bluesy and cool behemoth immerses visitors in
world-class architecture, art, music, food, theater and pours forth
any experience of which the active imagination might dream. The
city skyline leans glistening against Lake Michigan, the second
largest of the Great Lakes, which gives Chicago the outdoor ambience
of a city in partnership with a body of water whose vastness brings
to mind the ocean.
