Oh how I 💖 You!
I know what you're thinking:
'Who doesn't love their city?' But I'm not here just to talk about why I love
Chicago — I'm here to show you why you might want to experience it too. By the end of this, who knows? Maybe
you'll add it to your travel list, and we could even cross paths here one day!
If you love
art,
interesting architecture,
food and
beautiful scenery
around the city.You'd love Chicago! While you could experience this anywhere in the world, us Chicagoans
have a
way of putting
our own flavor to it.
If you prefer to take the tourist route, you should definitely check out the Art Institute of Chicago, WNDR
Museum or the Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago. But I'd recommend checking out some of the local art
galleries
as well, like
Gallery Guichard and Gallery 400.
I have a question for you! Ever watched "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" or "Transformers: Age of
Extinction?" Ooo how about "The Dark
Knight?" If you've watched any of these films, you've got a glimpse of Chicago. "Transformers" will show you
how
beautiful
the architecture of our buildings are.
You'll see Art Deco, Contemporary, Gothic Revival, International and Modern style buildings (psst...we even
have a boat tour that'll lead the way right through the Chicago River)! But my favorite
building is
the Sears Tower, towering over the city at 1,451 ft amaking it the third tallest building in the Western
Hemisphere.
Just a little warning, you may hear some people call it "Willis Tower" and rightfully so, because that's
it's name.
But
to a
true Chicagoan, it will always be known as the Sears Tower.
While the art and architecture is breathtaking, I think what you'll love most about Chicago is the food! We
have so many different options around the
city.
Of course we have your typical mainstream spots, but you want to try some good food, visit the hidden gems
neighborhoods.
Hyde
Park is like a mini downtown, filled with a variety of restaurants everything ranging from "Virtue
Restaurant"
(Southern cusine), "The Nile of Hyde Park" (Middle Eastern), "Chant" (Asian Fusion), and "Chemistry"
(Steakhouse). In 2022 Bronzeville Winery opened which is located in Bronzeville. It isn’t just about wine
though—it’s about community,
history,
and the incredible journey of one of the city’s black-owned businesses that added something new and
different to the
neighborhood!
While I can't cover everything since this is just the landing page, but it's a start. Who knows a Tumblr or
even
a website may be the next step for me. But in the meantime, if you want to experience a visual taste of
Chicago

Thanks for reading about my city and my love for my city. I hope you enjoyed the read and the visual!
