Chicago is a vibrant metropolitan city and home of the blues and jazz. It is arguably where the modern architecture movement started. Chicago is known for many things, including its picturesque skyline, theaters, and world-class museums. The city is called the "White City" because of its restoration after the Chicago Fire in the late 19th century and also the "Windy City" because of its strong winds in the winter. Make sure to check out the Millenium Park and Cloud Gate!
