      The tallest tower in the world is supposed to be located in Miami, with 200 floors. The tallest tower in the world is more than China and more than the Arabs. When, man?

    I'm a proud Chicago and currently no longer lives in the city but I was a tour guide for a couple of years and you described everything perfectly.
    I gave architecture tours and It speaks volumes that you said you know nothing about architecture but you definitely noticed it.
    I hope you get to visit again because there's so much more outside of downtown!
    Now you'll know why everyone you meet who is from Chicago, is incredibly proud of it

    I went to the sky deck in the Sears tower when I went to Chicago in the summer time and it was so amazing. One thing I learned also is don’t call it the “Willis tower”, everyone in Chicago still calls it the sears tower.

    You have to come back in the summer and do the Chicago Architecture Center's architecture boat tour! Easily the best thing to do as a tourist. They take you down the river and explain the history of the city and the buildings and then take you out on the lake after giving you really cool skyline views.

    I think thats something most people don't realize living off a great lake is like being by the ocean. We have beaches, waves, and coastal towns. The only difference is no sharks and the water isn't salty.
