Places to see in ( Chicago - USA ) The Loop
The Loop is the central business district and downtown area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is one of the city's 77 designated community areas. The Loop is home to Chicago's commercial core, City Hall, and the seat of Cook County. In the late nineteenth century, cable car turnarounds and prominent elevated railway encircled the area, giving the Loop its name.
The community area is bounded on the north and west by the Chicago River, on the east by Lake Michigan, and on the south by Roosevelt Road, although the commercial core has expanded into adjacent community areas. As a business center, some of the corporations the Loop hosts include the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world's largest options and futures contracts open interest exchange; the headquarters of United Continental Holdings, one of the world's largest airlines; AON; Blue Cross Blue Shield; Hyatt Hotels Corporation; BorgWarner, and other major corporations. The Loop is home to 500 acre Grant Park; State Street, which hosts a historic shopping district; the Art Institute of Chicago; several theaters; and numerous subway and elevated rapid transit stations. Other institutions in the Loop include the Willis Tower, once the tallest building in the world, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Goodman Theatre, the Joffrey Ballet, the central public Harold Washington Library, and the Chicago Cultural Center.
In what is now the Loop, on the south bank of the Chicago River, near today's Michigan Avenue Bridge, the US Army erected Fort Dearborn in 1803. It was the first settlement in the area sponsored by the United States. In 1908, Chicago addresses were made uniform by naming the intersection of State Street and Madison Street in the Loop as the division point for designating addresses, North, South, East or West on the Chicago street grid.
Loop architecture has been dominated by skyscrapers and high-rises since early in its history. Notable buildings include the Home Insurance Building, considered the world's first skyscraper (demolished in 1931); the Chicago Board of Trade Building, a National Historic Landmark; and Willis Tower, the world's tallest building for nearly 25 years. Some of the historic buildings in this district were instrumental in the development of towers. Chicago's street numbering system – dividing addresses into North, South, East, and West quadrants originates in the Loop at the intersection of State Street and Madison Street.
Chicago is still the nation's rail transportation hub and passenger lines once reached seven Loop-area stations by the 1890s. Transfers from one to the other was a major business for taxi drivers until the long-distance lines gave way to Amtrak in the 1970s with the majority of trains concentrated at Chicago Union Station.
This area abounds in shopping opportunities, including the Loop Retail Historic District, although it competes with the more upscale Magnificent Mile area to the north. It includes Chicago's former Marshall Field's department store location in the Marshall Field and Company Building; the original Sullivan Center Carson Pirie Scott store location (closed February 21, 2007). Chicago's Downtown Theatre District is also found within this area, along with numerous restaurants and hotels.
Chicago has a famous skyline which features many of the tallest buildings in the world as well as the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District. Chicago's skyline is spaced out throughout the downtown area, giving it a graceful beautiful appearance. The Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, the second tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, stands in the western Loop in the heart of the city's financial district, along with other buildings, such as 311 South Wacker Drive and the AT&T Corporate Center.

Remembering Carson Pirie Scott, Bruno Sammartino, Verne Troyer, Carl Kasell, Art Bell, Nabi Tajima
Another Closeout
A RETAIL DEATH, THE WRESTLER, THE PRIDE OF CENTREVILLE, THE NPR VOICE, THEY’RE OUT THERE, THE 19TH CENTURY SURVIVOR
Carson Pirie Scott was the venerable Midwestern department store that was a mainstay on Chicago’s State Street for over a century. Bruno Sammartino was perhaps the best-known professional wrestler of his time and a world champion for over ten years. Verne Troyer was the diminutive actor who was Mike Meyers’s double as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series. Carl Kasell was the mellifluous NPR news anchor and co-anchor of the popular radio show, Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Art Bell was the late-night radio call-in host who specialized in the mysterious and paranormal. Nabi Tajima was the oldest surviving person in the world, the last person to be born in the 19th Century.
Carson's (formerly Carson Pirie Scott and Co.) is an American chain of department stores located primarily in the Midwestern United States, with over 50 stores under the nameplate.
The Carson Pirie Scott name is strongly associated with the historic Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building designed by Louis Sullivan, built in 1899 for the retail firm Schlesinger & Mayer, and expanded and sold to Carson Pirie Scott in 1904.
The chain began in 1854 when Scotsmen Samuel Carson and John Pirie first clerked in the Murray's dry goods store in Peru, Illinois - then opened their own store in LaSalle followed by one in Amboy. In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed 60% of the store's stock. In 1961, Carson Pirie Scott & Co. greatly expanded in Illinois by purchasing the 20 unit Block & Kuhl chain headquartered in Peoria.
John Edwin Scott operated a dry goods store in Ottawa, Illinois. He later moved up to Chicago and became the first partner of Samuel Carson and John T. Pirie in the ownership of a dry goods store, well known today as Carson Pirie Scott & Co. Two of John Scott's sons, Robert L. and Frederick H., were members of the department store firm.
Bruno Sammartino[1] (October 6, 1935 – April 18, 2018) was an Italian-born American professional wrestler, best known for his work with the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, now WWE). There, he held the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship (WWWF Heavyweight Championship during his second reign) for more than 11 years (4,040 days) across two reigns, the first of which is the longest single reign in the promotion's history at 2,803 days. Dubbed The Living Legend during his lifetime,[6] Sammartino is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time
Verne Jay Troyer (January 1, 1969 – April 21, 2018) was an American actor, comedian, and stunt performer best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers film series. He was notable for having been only 2 ft 8 in (81 cm) tall, the result of cartilage–hair hypoplasia;[1][2] this made him one of the shortest men in the world.
Troyer was born in Sturgis, Michigan, the son of Susan, a factory worker, and Reuben Troyer, a repair technician.[3] He had two siblings, Davon and Deborah. He stated that his parents never treated me any different than my other average-sized siblings. I used to have to carry wood, feed the cows and pigs and farm animals.[4] Troyer was initially raised Amish, but his parents left the faith when he was a child.[5] During his childhood, Troyer spent much time visiting Amish relatives[6] in Centreville, Michigan. He graduated from Centreville High School in 1987 and a plaque was dedicated to him in 2003
Carl Ray Kasell (/ˈkæsəl/; April 2, 1934 – April 17, 2018) was an American radio personality. He was best known as a newscaster for National Public Radio, and later as the official judge and scorekeeper of the weekly news quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! until his retirement in 2014.
Arthur William Bell III (June 17, 1945 – April 13, 2018) was an American broadcaster and author. He was the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM, which is syndicated on hundreds of radio stations in the United States and Canada.[4] He also created and hosted its companion show Dreamland.
Nabi Tajima (田島 ナビ Tajima Nabi, 4 August 1900 – 21 April 2018)[1][2][3] was a Japanese supercentenarian,[4] who was the last living person certified to have been born in the nineteenth century and the world's oldest living person from 15 September 2017, until her own death. She remains the oldest recorded Japanese and Asian person in history and the world's third oldest person ever to be validated by modern standards, behind Jeanne Calment and Sarah Knauss.

Victor Woods is a nationally recognized speaker and founder of The Victor Woods Corporation. Mr. Woods is the author of his autobiography entitled, A Breed Apart: My Journey to Redemption, published by Simon and Schuster in 2005. He is the author of two more books entitled, Successfully Achieving Your Vision Books I and II.
For over a decade, Mr. Woods has spoken at colleges, businesses, schools, juvenile detention centers, prisons and various organizations across the United States. He has keynoted conferences such as the National Criminal Justice Conference, Closing the Achievement Gap Conference, the National Preventing Crime in the Black Community Conference hosted by the State of Florida's Attorney General, Bill McCollum, the National Baptist Convention, and the National Juvenile Justice Conference to name a few. Mr. Woods delivered the keynote address in Wisconsin, home of the oldest celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, at the State Capitol in Madison on January 18, 2010.
Mr. Woods' beginning is what makes his story remarkable. Victor, during his childhood, rebelled against authority. As a teenager a task force of sixty detectives arrested him in the act of committing an armed robbery. After release from state prison, Victor returned to a life of crime. Six years later, Victor was arrested for orchestrating a 40 million dollar credit card scheme. After refusing to cooperate with authorities, Victor received a sentence of six years. He served his time in a maximum security prison, and after spending nine months in solitary confinement Victor fully realized the weight of his circumstances. Subsequently, he began to give motivational speeches to inmates encouraging them not to succumb to the vicious cycle that entraps so many of our nation's young men and women. When the rules of society said he could not change and the odds were in favor of failure, Mr. Woods set himself on a course to change his life and make a positive lasting contribution to society.
Mr. Woods has worked with law enforcement and prison officials across the United States, the Deputy Director of Prison Programming, Roberta Fews, in Illinois, school educators and administrators across the United States and assisted Mayor Daley's office in Chicago with a community safety initiative aimed at stopping the senseless violence of urban youth.
Mr. Woods has appeared on CNN, The O'Reilly Factor, BET, C-SPAN, CLTV and many other news programs. His story has been shared in several publications including The Chicago Sun Times, The Chicago Tribune, The St. Petersburg Times, The Oklahoma City Herald and many more. Ebony Magazine wrote about Mr. Woods in the June 2007 issue. Currently, Mr. Woods is represented by Jeffrey Wank in Hollywood and is working on a movie deal about his life.
Mr. Woods is dedicated to working with youth, men and women who aspire to beat all the odds and dare to be the star of their own destiny.

Powered by - Chicago Architecture - The destruction caused by the Great Chicago Fire led to the largest building boom in the history of the nation. In 1885, the first steel-framed high-rise building, the Home Insurance Building, rose in the city as Chicago ushered in the skyscraper era, which would then be followed by many other cities around the world. Today, Chicago's skyline is among the world's tallest and most dense.
Some of the United States' tallest towers are located in Chicago; Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) is the second tallest building in the Western Hemisphere after One World Trade Center, and Trump International Hotel and Tower is the third tallest in the country. The Loop's historic buildings include the Chicago Board of Trade Building, the Fine Arts Building, 35 East Wacker, and the Chicago Building, 860-880 Lake Shore Drive Apartments by Mies van der Rohe. Many other architects have left their impression on the Chicago skyline such as Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Charles B. Atwood, John Root, and Helmut Jahn.
The Merchandise Mart, once first on the list of largest buildings in the world, currently listed as 44th largest (as of September 9, 2013), has its own zip code, and stands near the junction of the North and South branches of the Chicago River. Presently, the four tallest buildings in the city are Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower, also a building with its own zip code), Trump International Hotel and Tower, the Aon Center (previously the Standard Oil Building), and the John Hancock Center. Industrial districts, such as some areas on the South Side, the areas along the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, and Northwest Indiana are clustered.
Chicago gave its name to the Chicago School and was home to the Prairie School, two movements in architecture. Multiple kinds and scales of houses, townhouses, condominiums, and apartment buildings can be found throughout Chicago. Large swaths of the city's residential areas away from the lake are characterized by brick bungalows built from the early 20th century through the end of World War II. Chicago is also a prominent center of the Polish Cathedral style of church architecture. The Chicago suburb of Oak Park was home to famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who had designed The Robie House located near the University of Chicago.
