Heading East to the Midwest (Pt. 89) - Chicago: Bus Tour By Day
July 16, 2015 - Day two in Chicago, and my first full day, means that it's time for a bus tour! Courtesy of the Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co., I am taken on a 90 minute hop-on, hop-off tour of downtown Chicago and the nearby environs.
Starting southbound on Michigan Avenue, we pass through the cultural district, including the Chicago Hilton, where Richard Kimble (aka The Fugitive) made his grand re-appearance. Next up are Grant Park and Millennium Park, Solider Field, Lakeshore Drive, and more great views of the Chicago skyline. After skirting Lake Michigan we head back into town along the Chicago River, past Trump Tower, then the John Hancock Tower and Water Tower Place along the Magnificent Mile, Chicago's ritzy shopping district.
We then headed south along Clark Street, back towards the Loop.

Big Bus Tours[1] (formerly Les Cars Rouges and The Big Bus Company), is the largest operator of open top bus sightseeing tours founded in May 2011 after Les Cars Rouges and the Big Bus Company merged. The company operates in 20 cities of 11 countries with more than 150 buses around the world.[2] The United States is the country with the largest number of cities with Big Bus Tours service. Typically, Big Bus Tours use open top double-decker buses in burgundy and cream-coloured livery.
Chicago (/ʃɪˈkɑːɡoʊ/ (About this soundlisten), locally also /ʃɪˈkɔːɡoʊ/), officially the City of Chicago, is the most-populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most-populous city in the Midwest. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, and portions of the city extend westward into neighboring DuPage County. It is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third-most-populous in the nation.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century.[7] After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild.[8] The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world.[9] Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.[10][11]

Heading East to the Midwest (Pt. 94) - Chicago: It Was a Dark and Stormy Knight
July 16, 2015 - Vancouver followed me all over this trip, and today in Chicago, the storm hit; what a perfect night for a night bus tour!
Yes, the Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co. operates a night tour through the streets of Chicago as well - and the city is just as beautiful at night as it is during the day. Starting along Lakeshore Drive with great views of the skyline and Buckingham Fountain, we cross over the Chicago River into Streetersville, then towards the Magnificent Mile, with a great shot of the Wrigley Building and an even greater verbal shot at Donald Rump shortly thereafter.
We head back into the Loop along Clark Street, past the Chicago Board of Trade, towards Willis Tower to end the journey.

도착한 날, 도심이 소란스럽다. 우리의 현충일에 해당하는 메모리얼데이. 시내 한복판에서 퍼레이드가 시작된다. 엄숙하기보다는 즐거운 축제 같은 현충일이다. 이 지역 고등학교 학군단도 많이 참여했다. 학생들이 갈고 닦은 실력을 뽐낸다. 오늘따라 말이 말을 안 듣는 모양이다. 기수가 애를 먹는다. 전쟁에서 부상을 당한 걸까. 휠체어를 탄 사람들이 행진하자 박수가 쏟아진다.

마천루 사이로 유독 작고 뾰족한 탑이 다가온다. 이 작은 탑이 바로 시카고 사람들이 가장 사랑하는 건물, 워터타워다. 미시건 호수에서 물을 끌어올리기 위해 1869년에 세워진 급수탑인데, 1871년 시카고 대 화재 때 도심에서 유일하게 타지 않고 살아남은 건물이다. 시카고의 모습을 바꿔놨다는 ‘대 화재’는 어떤 사건일까. 시카고는 1851년 미국 철도교통의 중심지가 되면서 급속도로 발전하기 시작했다. 호수가 있어 물도 풍부하고 교통까지 편리해지다보니1857년에는 제강공장이, 1865년에는 가축사육장이 들어서면서 일자리를 찾는 노동자들로 인구가 급증했다. 그러던 중에 발생한 1871년 10월 대화재. 도시 북쪽에서 난 불이 미시건 호수에서 불어오는 바람을 타고 도시 전체로 번졌다. 사흘 간 이어진 이 불로 도시의 60%가 타고 9만 명이 집을 잃었다. 왜 불이 났던 걸까. 캐서린 오레리라는 사람의 축사에서 소가 뒷발로 등잔불을 걷어차서 일어난 화재라는 이야기가 전설처럼 내려온다. 하지만 이 불행한 사건은 개발된 공업도시 시카고를 말끔한 계획도시로 탈바꿈시키는 계기가 됐다.
