Chicago ( /ʃɨˈkɑːɡoʊ/ (help·info) or /ʃɨˈkɔːɡoʊ/) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and with more than 2.8 million people, the third largest city in the United States. Located on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the third-most densely populated major city in the U.S, Chicago has an estimated population of 2.8million.I visited it last time in July and was impressed with the hospitality and kindness.Every thing from Airport taxi to hotel tour guys all was good.Airport limo was fun to have in such a low price. I was amazed by the choices of transportation,like you could have a choper to go to downtown for few hundred dollars. All museums and downtown were full of fun loving people.Chicago is the place man,i would love to go their over and over.
