시카고 컵스의 홈경기가 열리는 날. 시카고엔 화이트삭스와 컵스 두 야구팀이 있는데, 역시 컵스가 인기다. 컵스의 상징은 곰. 커비 베어가 야구팬들을 맞이한다. 컵스의 아버지로 불리는 강타자 어니 뱅크스. 시카고 아버지들의 꿈은 아들과 함께 야구장에 오는 거다. “우리는 3대 째 컵스 팬이에요. 큰아들 매튜는 열두 살이고 둘째는 열한 살, 막내는 일곱 살이에요. 오늘 정말 기대돼요. 막내가 처음으로 보는 경기거든요. 첫째랑 둘째는 전에도 보러온 적 있어요. 꾀부려 학교를 빼먹고 경기를 보러오기도 했어요.“ 밴드의 연주가 분위기를 달군다. 1916년에 지어진 리글리필드는 내셔널 리그에서 가장 오래된 구장이다. 관중석이 가득 찼는데, 심지어 구장 바깥 건물 옥상에도 관중석이 마련돼 있다. 구단에서는 담을 높여 좌석 수를 늘리고 싶어 하는데 이 건물주들이 반대한다고 한다. 소송도 제기됐지만 건물주가 이겼단다. 아직도 전광판이 아닌 손으로 교체하는 스코어보드를 쓴다. 오늘 경기의 상대는 휴스턴 아스트로스. 컵스 팬의 열성은 미국에서도 유명하다. 사실 컵스는 미국 메이저리그의 최강자를 가리는 월드시리즈에서 1908년 이후 한 번도 우승하지 못했다. 그걸 ‘100년간의 슬럼프’ 또는 ‘염소의 저주’라고 부른다. 한 야구팬이 야구장에 염소를 끌고 왔다가 입장을 거부당하자, 앞으로 이 구장에서 월드시리즈가 열리지 못할 것이라고 악담을 하고 간 이후 저주에 걸렸다는 것이다. 하지만 컵스 팬들은 지치지 않고 대를 이어 컵스를 응원한다. 7회 초가 끝난 뒤, 사람들이 갑자기 일어난다. ”나를 야구장에 데려다주오. 나를 군중 속으로 데려다주오. 땅콩과 과자도 사주오. 돌아가지 못한대도 상관없소. 컵스를 평생 응원하리. 이기지 못하면 어떡하나. 원, 투, 쓰리 스트라이크, 아웃이네. 오랜 야구 경기의 규칙이라네.“ 컵스는 오늘도 졌다. 하지만 팬들은 개의치 않는 것 같다. “제가 처음 본 경기에서도 컵스가 졌는걸요 뭐. 중요한 건 야구장 분위기죠. 컵스 경기는 항상 분위기가 좋잖아요. 그죠?“

Chicago, on Lake Michigan in Illinois, is among the largest cities in the U.S. Famed for its bold architecture, it has a skyline punctuated by skyscrapers such as the iconic John Hancock Center, 1,451-ft. Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower. The city is also renowned for its museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago with its noted Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
Steely skyscrapers, top chefs, rocking festivals – the Windy City will blow you away with its low-key cultured awesomeness. It's hard to know what to gawp at first. High-flying architecture is everywhere, from the stratospheric, glass-floored Willis Tower to Frank Gehry's swooping silver Pritzker Pavilion to Frank Lloyd Wright's stained-glass Robie House. Whimsical public art studs the streets; you might be walking along and wham, there's an abstract Picasso statue that's not only cool to look at, but you're allowed to go right up and climb on it. For art museums, take your pick: impressionist masterpieces at the massive Art Institute, psychedelic paintings at the mid-sized Museum of Mexican Art or outsider drawings at the small Intuit gallery.
Loosen your belt – you've got a lot of eating to do. On the menu: peanut-butter-and-banana-topped waffles for breakfast (at Stephanie Izard's Little Goat), a chicken, apple and cranberry hot dog for lunch (at Hot G Dog), and 20 courses of centrifuged, encapsulated molecular gastronomy for dinner (at Grant Achatz' Alinea). You can also chow down on a superb range of ethnic eats from Vietnamese pho to Mexican carnitas, Polish pierogi and Macanese fat rice. Still hungry? Order a late-night deep-dish pizza.
Chicago is a maniacal sports town, with a pro team for every season (two teams, in baseball's case). Watching a game is a local rite of passage, whether you slather on the blue-and-orange body paint for a Bears football game, join the raucous baseball crowd in Wrigley Field's bleachers, or plop down on a bar stool at the neighborhood tavern for whatever match is on TV. Count on making lots of spirited new friends. Should the excitement rub off and inspire you to get active yourself, the city's 26 beaches and 580 parks offer a huge array of play options.
Chicago knows how to rock a festival. Between March and September it throws around 200 shindigs. The specialty is music. Blues Fest brings half a million people to Millennium Park to hear guitar notes slide and bass lines roll, all for free. During the four-day Lollapalooza mega-party, rock bands thrash while the audience dances in an arm-flailing frenzy. Smaller, barbecue-scented street fests take place in the neighborhoods each weekend – though some rival downtown for star power on their stages (oh, hey, Olivia Newton-John at Northalsted Market Days).

시내로 들어가니 빨간 2층 버스가 눈에 띈다. ‘현대 건축의 요람’이라고 불리는 시카고. 이 버스를 타면 2시간동안 도심 골목골목을 돌며 건물을 살펴볼 수 있다. 29달러 하는 표를 한번 사면 여러 번 내렸다 다시 탈 수 있다. 미국에서 펜타곤 다음으로 큰 건물인 머천다이즈 마트. 면적이 경복궁보다 넓다. 얼마 전에 지어졌다는 이 건물은 유유히 흐르는 강물을 형상화했다고 한다. 목이 부러져라 올려다봐야 하는 존 행콕센터는 344미터의 100층짜리 초고층인데도 시카고에서 겨우 4번째로 높은 거다. 건물 외벽을 따라 엑스자 모양으로 올라간 철골 덕에 1969년 당시 이렇게 높은 건물을 지을 수 있었다고 한다. 시카고 강 바로 옆에 일명 옥수수 빌딩, 마리나 시티가 있다. 1964년에 지어진 주상복합 건물로 옥수수 알같이 생긴 한 칸 한 칸이 다 집이다. 강 옆이다 보니 지하를 깊이 파기가 어려워 19층까지를 주차장으로 지었는데, 주차된 차들이 밖에서도 훤히 보인다. 후진 주차하기 무서울 것 같다. 건물 아래는 개인용 보트 선착장이다. 시카고는 마천루의 원조다. 1885년, 세계 최초의 철골 구조 빌딩인 홈 인슈어런스 빌딩이 시카고에 생겼을 때 하늘을 찌른다는 뜻으로 마천루라는 말이 처음 사용됐다고 한다. 하지만 단지 크거나 높거나 독특해서 시카고 건축이 유명한 것은 아니다. 장식을 최대한 줄이는 대신 물류가 쉽게 드나들도록 1층 입구를 높게 만들었다. 좁은 골목에 고층 건물을 지으면 빛이 잘 안들어 올 수 있어 창문을 크게, 많이 내는 등 현대식 사무용 건물 스타일이 시카고에서 처음 시작됐다.

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.

The Candy Capital of America
The history of candy in Chicago is long, sweet and full of amazing stories! Some of the largest confectionary manufactures were based in Chicago and countless iconic candies were created there.

In this documentary we look at the very beginnings of candy making in Chicago, right up to the large mergers and acquisitions of the 20th and 21st century and the current confectionary trends.

Chicago - Top 10 attractions | A tour of Michigan Lake & Chicago Park District
Chicago, the Windy City as it is often called, lies along the shores of Lake Michigan. It is known for its vibrant arts scene, numerous cultural attractions, excellent shopping, and interesting architecture. The city enjoys a worldwide reputation as a focal point of 20th-century architecture and art, with architects such as Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, and artists like Picasso, Mirõ, Dubuffet, and Chagall leaving their mark. The city also has much to offer in the sporting sphere, too, with the Chicago Bears in American football, the Chicago White Sox and Cubs in baseball, and the Chicago Bulls in basketball. Last, but not least, are the beautiful beaches.
Top 10 Things to Do - Travel Guide
1 Art Institute of Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is a world class museum with hundreds of thousands of artworks.
2- Millennium Park is part of the larger Grant Park, located in downtown Chicago bordered by Michigan Avenue to the west, Columbus Drive to the east, Randolph Street to the north, and Monroe Street to the south.
3- The Navy Pier originally opened in 1916 as an amusement area and shipping facility but is now one of Chicago's most popular tourist attractions.
4- The Museum of Science and Industry.
At the north end of Jackson Park is the Museum of Science and Industry, founded in 1933, and arguably the most impressive museum in Chicago. It is devoted to the application of natural laws in technological and industrial development.
5- Buckingham Memorial Fountain.
Built in 1927 as a donation from the family, the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain is one of the largest in the world. Designed in the period's iconic Art Deco style, the central fountain is surrounded by four seahorses that represent Lake Michigan's four bordering states.
6- Willis Tower SkyDeck
The Willis Tower took three years to build and was opened to the public in 1974. The building is 1,453 feet tall with an observation area, called the SkyDeck, on the 103rd floor, 1,353 feet above the ground. A glass box with a glass floor, known as the Ledge, juts out from the SkyDeck, where visitors can stand and look directly down at the city below.
7- 360 Chicago
Located in the John Hancock Center office building, 360 Chicago is an observation deck on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building, easy to recognize by its dark metallic looking exterior and cross-braced steel design, which runs up the outside of the building.
8- Field Museum of Natural History
Originally called the Columbian Museum of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History was founded in 1893 to showcase the biological and anthropological collections gathered for the World Columbian Exposition. The name changed in 1905 to honor Marshall Field, the department store owner, art patron, and major benefactor of the museum. Address: 1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois.
9- Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile
Michigan Avenue is probably one of the most attractive boulevards in America. The city's famous Magnificent Mile is a section of Michigan Avenue north of the Chicago River, with numerous galleries, boutiques, and luxury shops.
10- Wrigley Field, home to the Chicago Cubs, was built in 1914 and is the second-oldest Major League Baseball park in the US, second only to Fenway Park in Boston.
Tips and Tours: How to Make the Most of Your Visit to Chicago
Chicago's history is a big part of what makes it so unique. Taking a tour is definitely recommended if you want to learn about the city's storied past, from the notorious gangsters to the famous buildings. Below are some of the most popular or unique tours on offer in the city:
Chicago's Landmarks: The four-hour Chicago Grand Half-Day Tour is the perfect way to be able to see and learn about the city's most important landmark buildings and sights. The narrated coach tour takes a scenic route along the lake through Grant Park and past some of its most iconic attractions; drives down Chicago's Magnificent Mile; and tours the South Side, where you can see President Obama's former home.
See the sights: For general sightseeing, the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus or Trolley Tour is the easiest and most convenient way to see the highlights of the city and to get oriented. For first timers, this is a must. Get on and off at the sights that interest you, skip those that don't, and learn a little history from this narrated tour.
If you are spending more than one day in the city, do this tour on day one to get the layout of the city and figure out where you might want to spend the rest of your time. If you are visiting during the warmer months, consider taking a Segway Tour. These are small groups of just eight people and one guide. You will be given a short training session and then head off on a guided tour.
Michigan Ave. in Chicago
Walking around Michigan Ave. allows you to see some amazing sites including Grant Wood's American Gothic, the Chicago Times building, the Moose sculpture by John Kearney, legendary Chicago commentator Jack Brickhouse's monument as well as many others not seen in this video.
* I originally uploaded this video with U2's City Of Blinding Lights as background music which really works well with the video, but unfortunitely Youtube deemed the usage unallowable and stripped the video all all audio in true youtube fashion. I'll work on finding a solution to this problem, but in the meantime...ENJOY CHICAGO!!!!
25 must-see buildings in Illinois
Willis Tower, Chicago: The Sears Tower, now known as Willis Tower, was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1973, a position it would hold for the next 25 years. Originally, the building was constructed to consolidate all merchandising offices of the Sears & Roebuck company into one building.
Wrigley Field, Chicago: Located on Chicago's near North Side, the ivy-studded Wrigley Field has been the home of Chicago Cubs baseball since 1916. The oldest National League ball park was designed by Zachary Taylor Davis in 1914 for the Chicago Whales of the Federal League, with a single deck capable of seating 14,000 spectators.
Millennium Park, Chicago: Situated at the north end of Grant Park, Millennium Park entices thousands of visitors to stop, look and listen, every day. In 1997, Mayor Daley commissioned a team to design a park over existing railroad tracks.
Illinois Institute of Technology Campus, Chicago: Designed in 1940 by a founder of Modern architecture, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) academic campus is comprised of 26 buildings in a 60-acre densely urban setting, which set the precedent for modernist campus design. (Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia “quadrangle” plan was the prior traditional style.) IIT is laid out on a 24 feet horizontal by 12 feet vertical modular grid, which determined the scale and placement for structures and open space on the campus. Mies himself designed 14 of the buildings while director of the school’s architecture program from 1938-1958, utilizing a simple palette of steel, glass and buff-colored brick, reflecting the industrial buildings of Chicago’s South Side.
Galena Main Street: Galena's Main Street contains one of the best collections of mid-19th century commercial buildings in the country. The street is even more distinctive because of its curve, which follows the topography of the hill and the Fever River.
Art Institute of Chicago: Originally constructed in 1893 as the World's Colombian Exposition Congress Auxiliary Building, the AIC school and galleries are located in Chicago’s Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District in the Loop community area bounded by Grant Park on the east. The core of the current complex, opposite Adams Street, officially opened in December 1893, and was renamed the Allerton Building in 1968.
Chicago Riverwalk: Often called the Second City’s second lakefront, the Riverwalk is an urban, pedestrian, linear park, located on the south bank of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, spanning from Lake Shore Drive to Franklin Street. It is a great discovery point to the city’s laboratory for architectural innovation in significant skyscrapers, museums, theaters, bridges, homes, universities, houses of worship and commerce.
Farnsworth House, Plano: Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1951 for Edith Farnsworth, the house is located near Plano in an organic, rural setting on the banks of the Fox River. In contrast to the native grounds, the house is one of the most exactingly detailed works of modernist domestic architecture, cleverly engineered to stand up from the ground in response to its flood-prone location.
Dana-Thomas House, Springfield: The Dana-Thomas House is one of the largest and most intact of the Prairie School houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright during the first decade of the 20th century. The Prairie School period marked a major change in American residential architecture, with the use of natural materials and an emphasis on form rather than applied ornament.
Starved Rock Lodge, Utica: Built on a wooded bluff overlooking the Illinois River, the Starved Rock State Park design reflected the increasing democratization of American recreation in the first half of the 20th century. The lodge was part of a concerted effort under Governor Henry Horner and Robert Kingery, director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, to expand and create accessibility in the Illinois state park system.
State Capitol Building, Springfield: The design for Illinois’ fifth state capitol, by Chicago’s John Crombie Cochran with his partner, French-born architect Alfred Piquenard, was the winning entry in an 1867 competition. Completed at a cost of $4.5 million, the Illinois State Capitol building is an elaborate Second Empire edifice with a tall Renaissance-style dome separating the two cameral wings.
Haish Memorial Library, DeKalb: Over the past hundred years, DeKalb’s public library has evolved from a modest reading room furnished with gas lights and magazines to a beautiful and architecturally significant stand-alone building offering a wide variety of services, programs and up-to-date research technology. The community-minded spirit that led the local ladies of the Library Whist Club to found it in 1893 has remained for decades.
Naper Settlement, Naperville: A living history village, Naper Settlement tells the story of how life was transformed throughout the 19th century from
