Sweet Home Chicago

The Top 50 Skylines list came out recently, and Chicago was #6. having been left out of the top 5 by Tokyo. Tokyo?!?!

So here is my answer to that! I'll grant you that economics and necessity says several Asian cities will eclipse Chicago's skyline. Hong Kong is amazing. But Chicago will always be the birthplace of the skyscraper, and have a quality of architecture that is unmatched anywhere in the world. Even Hong Kong.

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.
