(引用)Chicago, the birthplace of the modern skyscraper is still a trendsetter in urban architecture and is a must for people interested in 20th century urban architecture.
But the Windy City offers a lot more than
architecture alone: it is a bustling city, it is home to many great
museums and it has some of the best Blues clubs.
It is also a great city to live in, especially the northern part of
the city has a great lively atmosphere and even nice beaches. The
last decade, more and more luxury apartments are being built
downtown, luring the Chicagoans back to the downtown area (better
known as the Loop) in an attempt to reverse the exodus from
downtown Chicago.


下图中,Michigan
Avenue大道的右边是Millennium Park,右下角的头像是著名的Crown Fountain,由西班牙艺术家Jaume
Plensa设计。头像的嘴巴能喷水,而头像据说是源自芝加哥的普通市民。每隔一段时间Crown
Fountain都会换脸。看过prison break(越狱)的朋友也许会对这个场景有印象。
芝加哥的博物馆为数不少。 Art Institute of Chicago的历史更超过100年。在芝加哥最好能逗留一个月,把所有现代艺术瑰宝细细的挖掘一遍。
The Grant Park,据说是为了纪念越战阵亡士兵而建的。奥巴马竞选好像也在这里发了言。
北美五大湖之一,密西根湖。湖水非常干净,这充分说明了芝加哥政府和人民有很强的环保意识。
芝加哥的中国城不大,也在Downtown附近。这个停车场一小时收费4美金。牌子的左下角的建筑是全美国最高的大楼Sears Tower,也是目前世界第三高楼。可惜这次没有时间去楼顶鸟瞰芝加哥全景。
