Chicago, My Kind of Town

 


Frank Sinatra was not kidding when he sang "My Kind of Town, Chicago is."  And I bet more people will agree with him. After all, what's not to like about Chi-town. It has everything you look for in a big city (towering skyscrapers, international cuisine, world-class shopping, bright party lights), but has all the charm of a small town (amiable & artistic people, picturesque street scene). It is more of a big small town than a giant metropolis. Just my kind of town, too.

    Fantastic photos! Chicago is one of the cities I want to see in the US. A friend told me that it has some of the most amazing architecture.

    yes, it is a city with deep history, so you can expect great architecture. :) it shared the big screen with Optimus Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. hihihi

    For some reason when I think of Chicago, I think of Michael Jordan and Oprah :) The skyscrapers are surely impressive. Hope to explore this place one day.
