CHICAGO

Welcome to the Windy city which it is important to know in theory is divided into the North Side whose residents support one of two baseball teams called the Cubs and the South Side whose residents support The White Sox. When you relocate to Chicago, you need to choose one team or the other, but not both. Luckily, all of the other major sports each have only one team as Chicagoans take huge pride in their teams from The Bulls Basketball team (with the famous Michael Jordan), to their Football team, The Bears and their Hockey Team, The Blackhawks.

The downtown ‘Loop’ is surrounded by a train system on elevated tracks. It runs 24-hours a day and easily takes commuters around the city. Chicago is not a city where you want to necessarily have a car as parking is illegal in the Loop. The elevated train is the best way to get around the city as well as walking. Chicago is a manageable city with Michigan Avenue as one of its main throughways to navigate your way around. Chicago’s fire in 1871 fire destroyed most of the city until architects came along and rebuilt it better than ever with a distinct style that included the world's first skyscrapers. A good number of these buildings survive to this day and make Chicago a great town for a walking tour.
