Chicago: A City Of Diversity & Great Attractions

By: Perry Manzani

Chicago is an unforgettable place to visit. With a rich, culturally diverse population, Chicago is on par with other North American cities such as Los Angles and New York.

It's this wide diversity of people that gives Chicago its wide variety of culture and arts. No where else in America can you find the jazz and blues that permeates this city. This combination of culture and diversity also creates a culinary circle in the city that leaves nothing to the imagination. With so much going for it, you'll want to make sure that you include Chicago on your list of cities to visit.

There are many attractions in Chicago that you won't want to miss. One of these attractions is the Art Institute of Chicago. You'll be able to spend a few hours looking at art and sculpture from the last 5000 years. The huge collection of postimpressionist and impressionist paintings are a must while you're at the museum. Don't forget to get your picture taken beside the lions outside the museum.

A good way to truly experience the lifestyle of any city is to visit its neighborhood. One such area is Lincoln Park, which is famous for its Biograph Theater, site of the John Dillinger shootout by FBI in 1934. This neighborhood never sleeps and reflects the spirit of Chicago. At all times you can find people strolling, walking, running, cycling or even rollerblading among the hustle and bustle of a busy city life.

This neighborhood also has a place where you can have your drawing made by guess who? A CHIMPANZEE! This is possible at the free public zoo, the Lincoln Zoo in the same neighborhood. Chimpanzees artwork is a popular zoo product all over the world. Besides the chimpanzees and gorillas the zoo also has a variety of other lesser known animals such as the Galapagos turtle and poisonous spiders from far off places.

After visiting Lincoln Park you can take a walk along the Magnificent Mile, which is an avenue that leads from Lincoln Park all the way to the Chicago River. This stretch of road is great for those shopping enthusiasts who love a bargain or a boutique. The Tribune Tower is found along the Magnificent Mile and warrants a look. The tower was built in 1925 and its gothic beauty is still astounding even today. The base of the Tribune is embedded with rocks obtained by newspaper reporters from around the world.

If you're visiting Chicago with your children you won't want to miss a visit to the Shedd Aquarium. Built in 1929, you'll find one of the world's largest collections of marine and aquatic animals here. The huge central tank in the building houses over 500 tropical fish that include the moray eel as well as the quiet nurse shark. You'll also be able to view the sea otters, penguins, dolphins, beluga whales, and harbor seals.

If you are in America can baseball be far behind. Chicago has to its name one of the most popular baseball fields of the century, the Wrigley field. Any baseball fan would have heard of it and would definitely want a picture of it. A walk around the field is an experience to cherish.

Chicago does not have any season to its name. In fact it is a city for all seasons, though the winters are a quite cold with the snow added in. Nonetheless its charm gets to you, it has something for everyone true to its reputation.
