Chicago has spoken:
The top 7 Wonders of Chicago
The 1st Wonder is: The Lakefront
One of the top activities is the "Dog Beach" on the North Side. People are able to let their
Retrievers and herders run amok along the shore.
Then there's the Navy Pier on the east side downtown with a view of the skyline that takes
your breath away. And Shakespeare, and a Ferris wheel!
On the south shore there's the Cultural Center where the water moves to the sounds of
Jazz.
Become one of the million people who flock to the 4th of July fireworks. In the summer, the
lake offers respite from the heat and a place of solitude for an early morning run in winter.
The 2nd Wonder is: Wrigley Field
Formerly a working class neighborhood, Wrigleyville, is the neighborhood
directly surrounding Wrigley Field along North Clark and West Addison
Streets. Wrigleyville features lowrise brick buildings and houses, some with
rooftop bleachers colloquially called Wrigley Roofs.
The 3rd Wonder is: The "L"
The 'L' consists of a network of eight heavy rail lines totalling 106.1 route
miles (57.1 miles elevated, 36.9 miles surface, and 12.1 miles subway) on
over 242.6 miles of double-track rail line with 144 stations. The oldest
section dates from 1892. The 'L' primarily serves the city proper plus eight
close-in suburbs. Seventeen stations, mainly newer or at outlying locations,
include "park-'n'-ride" facilities with a total of more than 6,600 parking
spaces. About 15% of the total track length is underground.

The 4th Wonder is: Sears Tower
The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States, by the measurement
from the ground to its roof.
It was also the tallest Skyscraper in the world until 1998, when Petronas Towers in
Kuala umpur reached 1,483 ft. Then in 2004, the Petronas Towers were
surpassed by Taipei 101 in Taipei Taiwan when it reached 1,671 ft.
The 5th Wonder is: The Water Tower
The Chicago Water Tower is a landmark located at 806 North Michigan Avenue
along the Magnificent Mile shopping district of the city.
Located adjacent to Loyola University Chicago's downtown campus, the
Chicago Water Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and
serves as the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau Visitor's Welcome
Center.
The tower, built in 1869 by architect William W. Boyington from yellowing Joliet
limestone, is 154 feet tall. Inside was a 138 foot high standpipe to hold water. In
addition to being used for firefighting, the pressure in the pipe could be
regulated to control water surges in the area.
The 6th Wonder is: The University of Chicago
Responsible for 78 Nobel Prize winners (all faculty members, students or researchers),
13 recipients of a MacArthur Fellowship (commonly known as a "genius grant"), 3 Pulitzer
Prize winners, 8 recipients of the National Medal of Science, the University of Chicago
was founded by another achiever, John D. Rockefeller, along with the American Baptist
Educational Society, on land donated by Marshall Field. It has become one of the world's
pre-eminent institutions of learning and advancing knowledge. As the school motto notes:
Crescat scientia; vita excolatur ("Let knowledge grow; let life be enriched").

The 7th Wonder is: The Museum of Science and Industry
The Museum of Science and Industry was established in 1926 by wealthy Sears,
Roebuck & Company chairman Julius Rosenwald, who pledged $3 million to the
institution. He eventually donated about $7 million. He also insisted that his name not
appear on the building, but nonetheless, for the first few years of the museum's
existence, it was known as the Rosenwald Industrial Museum. The name of the museum was later
change to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1928.
8th Place is: The Chicago River
In the 1770s, Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable built his farm on the northern bank of the river
near Wolf Point, the first non-Native American settlement of Chicago, and early in the next
century Fort Dearborn was built on the southern bank of the river.
9th Place is: Millennium Park
It was Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley's ambitious idea to realize that which was
originally designed as part of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago, a plan for the future
of Chicago created in 1909.
10th Place is: Chicago Blues
The Chicago blues is a form of blues music that developed in Chicago, Illinois by
adding electrically amplified guitar, drums, piano, bass guitar and sometimes
saxophone to the basic guitar/harmonica Delta blues. The music developed
mainly as a result of the "Great Migration" of poor black workers from the South
into the industrial cities of the North such as Chicago in particular, in the first half
of the twentieth century.
11th Place is: Chicago hot dog
The style, once known as a "Depression sandwich," is generally acknowledged as having
originated at Fluky's, a well-known Maxwell Street stand, in 1929.

12th Place is: The Chicago theater scene
Theater is the heart and soul of Chicago with The Goodman Theater (Chicago's oldest
currently-active nonprofit organization), Steppenwolf (founded in 1974 by Gary Sinise, Terry
Kinney and Jeff Perry in the basement of a church) and Second City (an improvisational
comedy troupe started in 1959 and is based in the Old Town). If you're in Chicago, you
better be in a Theater!
13th Place is: Lower Wacker Drive
Locals love to surprise their out of town friends with a drive into lower Wacker,
a twisting, tunnel-like roadway you'd swear was built for the sole purpose of
filming car chases.
14th Place is: Chicago bungalows
The majority of Chicago Bungalows were built between 1910 and 1940. They
were typically constructed from brick (sometimes in decorative patterns) and had
one and a half stories. At one point, nearly a third of the houses in the Chicago
area were bungalows.
