    I was born in 1950 in Chicago, raised and worked there my whole life and just recently retired and moved. You were spot on with SEARS Tower and it was Marshal Fields (I hated when they sold to Macys). Also, Chicago was known for their THIN crust pizza with square cut pieces way before deep dish was invented. I used those underground pedways during our 'brisk' winters. You did an amazing job talking about our city, thank you.

And also how far is des planes as I'd like to visit the breakfast club "school" which is now a police station and is it worth the visit?.... keeps up the great work with these helpful vids👍

    Thanks so much! Really enjoying this channel. Our family of 4 is considering coming to Chicago the last week of June, but we would be driving. We will probably use a rental car for the trip. Would you recommend turning in the rental car at one of the airports and then using mass transit while we are in the area? We would specifically be visiting U of Chicago & Northwestern, while staying downtown. What would you recommend regarding driving near the city, turning in our rental car, using mass transit, and then getting a rental car for the trip home? Would that be easy to do in terms of finding a place to turn in the rental car and then picking up another one a week later? Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Luis! I'm thinking of visiting Chicago in January. I know January is a lot colder there than I'm used to. What sorts of attractions would you recommend for a winter visit?

    I would be interested in seeing a video about the Chicago suburbs: Joliet, Evanston, Homewood/Flossmoor
