Chicagoland Chicago, Chicago.... A magnificent city, one could call it the cultural capital of the Midwest, the Windy City—and the winds here are something else!))) The streets are laid out very conveniently; if you look from above, you see these little squares—blocks. This layout was created after the fire about 200 years ago, when most of the city burned down. Chicago is the city of gangsters; in the 20s, there were thousands of them!!! There are many parks, the most famous of which is, of course, Millennium Park. The main attraction of the park is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, an amphitheater with 4,000 seats. We went there many times for opera, the symphony orchestra, and concerts—all of this happens under the open sky) Summer in Chicago is inseparable from festivals that gather many thousands of people. Every year, the city hosts the famous Chicago Jazz Festival. From the end of June to the end of September, Highland Park hosts the Ravinia Festival (Chicago Symphony Orchestra, ballet troupes, folk and jazz orchestras, comedians—and that's not even the full list!) At the end of May, the Chicago Blues Festival is held in Grant Park. And you can go to them absolutely for free!!! There is this amazing newspaper, the Chicago Reader, which describes all events, exhibitions, concerts, movies, etc., how much they cost, and there are also many events that are free!!!!! Yes, there is plenty to do in Chicago. Every day, if there is no work, there will definitely be something to do: a trip to a museum, an exhibition, a movie, or a festival))))) How I miss it while being here in Russia((( Chicago is home to some of the largest skyscrapers!!! Posting photos! Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet...
