Answer 3

Well, i guess the top of the Sears Tower, once the tallest bulding in the world (before those cheaters in Malaysia took over). But it's still the tallest building in North America.

You could check out the Biograph Theater on Lincoln Ave. Near Halsted. It's where John Dillenger was shot. He died in an alley between the theater and the place that is now a Mexican restaurant.

There's the Green Mill jazz lounge. It used to be Al Capone's hangout and it still looks as if Big Al could walk in at any minute. There are tunnels that connect the bar with other buildings on the block so that Al and the boys could make a quick getaway. Occasionally you will see one of the bartenders disappear behind the bar, down some steps where to the hidden area where they now store liquor. one tunnel supposedly goes all the way out to the lake where Al reportedly had a boat waiting in case he had to get away.

YOu could check out the small patch of grass on Clark Street just north of Park West Drive. it's where the St. Valentine's day Massacre took place. It's now home to a senior citizens building. There are seven small trees there, which ironically is the same number of men killed in the massacre.

You could check out Graceland Cemetery on Clark Street at Irving Park. Many famous people are buried there including boxing legend Jack Johnson, Chicago Tribune founder Joseph Medill, private eye legend Alan Pinkerton, William Hulbert, Founder of the National League in baseball; Victor Lawson, founder of the Chicago Daily News (his grave marker has a lifesize knight with sword and shielf); George Pullman, inventor of the train sleeping car; and Augustus Dickens, younger brother of Charles Dickens

You could check out Wrigley Field. Whether you like the team or hate them, you have to recognize the historical significance of the ballpark. It's been around almost as long as baseball itself. From Babe Ruth all the way to the present...

YOu could check out the Midway Plaisance, a long patch of land on the campus of the University of Chicago. In the summertime is filled with people throwing Frisbees, playing touch football, reading, relaxing, etc. In the winter they free part of it for ice skating. The U of C campus has some very impressive architecture and Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is also located there.

YOu could check out the Art Institute of Chicago and stand face to face with a Monet, a Picasso, a Van Gogh, etc. Or check out the other Museums: Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium or a bunch of the smaller museums (DuSable Museum of African American History, National Museum of Mexican art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Swedish Museum, Polish Museum, etc.)

There's a lot more but that's all I can think about right now.

Answer 4

I would suggest reading "Devil in the White City" for historical references to Chicago it deals with events leading up to the World Columbian Expositon held in Chicago in 1893.
