They had moving sidewalks back then, AND WE STILL DONT HAVE HOVERBOARDS-
I have to check out the Bridge Musuem,and Fulton Market.
I ❤ chicago
We have one of the best cities in the world. Period.
The Museum of Science and Industry is such a treasure. All of the museums in Chicago are amazing, but the Science & Art Institute are the best ones imo.
When they zoom up on the McCormick bridge, I was so confused because they show it from the opposite side. Makes it look like the buildings changed over time, but they didn't…it was just the view.
Pretty sure it is not 2nd tallest in the northern Hemisphere.
And a lot of attractions in Chicago are free as well like the bean and Lincoln park zoo 🙂
If you haven’t visited this amazing city yet, you need too bc Chicago is a city that never runs out of attractions and the city is beautiful all year long
I love Chicago

The 103rd floor SWAYS??! up to 6 in.! I'm scared.
No mention of Fort Dearborn?
2:15 I think you mean "Western" hemisphere
"Walnut Room" in the Sears Tower was AWESOME!!!!
Truly a beautiful city
Cidade sensacional
I only love US……..
Chicago has a lot of good qualities but it’s a Midwest city with an egregious number of homicides and is choking under the weight of decades old corrupt politics. The bells and whistles do nothing but reinforce the city’s lack of cultural relevance and sense of identity within the American fabric. Boston is the true “second city” and after that LA and Las Vegas.
Chicago could reinvent itself by electing a Republican mayor, lowering taxes, solving the crime problems, building new and affordable apartments, and rerouting its traffic away from the shore line. The competition among cities is becoming fierce and gimmicks like the bean and endless tourist attractions simply reinforce the idea that people just come and go, that Chicago is a city without a soul.
No one except for people who were told (local newscasters) refer to the Sears Tower as the Willis Tower.
No matter how much someone spends to rename, it will always be the Sears Tower to anyone who lives in Chicago.
i was in Chicago last summer i went in or drove by all these places
Bless up Chicago ! Greetings A&E peace and respect for you great job 🍀 cheech and chong things are tough all over -80 😵😷
I love Chicago!
Chicago has a lot to offer and a lot of cool neighborhoods to explore. It’s best to be seen on foot. But if you’re by the lake then I recommend renting a bike.
Its only fun in the summer. Take it from a local
Every city/country should have a Historical Map Tour! So cool!
What about the Chicago art museum downtown, the jewelry shops, or some of the great restaurants around Hyde Park? Come on Nat. Geo. You could have done a lot better.
