"I met a city - a real city," he said, "People call it Chicago." Chicago 21 still so true - but far from Rudyard Kipling had a visit that place. The city is no longer the world's pork store, replace the old smoke and gray, since the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon has been the world's best public gardens. However, the full flavor of the noise and commotion people are still continue to shape the city. Chicago is still produced in athletes (alluding to the Chicago Bulls), full of bear and bull markets (ie Chicago Board of Trade) of the city, but it also has its emotional side. To experience this side of Chicago, you have to go to the new Millennium Park (Millennium Park) in order to feel the design architect 弗兰克盖瑞 shell-shaped open-air concert hall, it is full of elegant stainless steel; or use your toes to feel the warmth of the beach shore of Lake Michigan. These are just a meal of "appetizers" only by those most knowledgeable people in Chicago - Chicago, friendly and opinionated people. Bos local book reviewer Danny Patel said: "In California, people want to hold you; in Chicago, people want to talk to you."
