Chicago

Blues and Jazz club and Al Capone is first, which occurs to one, probably thinks one of Chicago. While first are to be found still here, measures concerning town construction let the former effect places of the Mafiosis ascended during the prohibition disappear almost completely. "skyscretcher" from steel and concrete are the brand name modern Chicago. Except in New York anywhere more architecturally more fastidious multistoried buildings did not grow into the sky in the last decades.
The 1974 completed Sears Tower ranks its 443m with among the highest buildings the world. And an attendance of the prospect terrace provides a wonderful panorama view over city and Michigan lake.
And this to a large extent unprotected position at the Lake Michigan coins/shapes also quite crucially the climate of Chicago. The violent drop hoist, which sweep by the house ravines, is almost famous and again upward whistle and the fronts of the multistoried buildings, like at fire-places. The summers are very hot despite the lake, even if a constant Brise moderates the heat somewhat, however ensure in the winter an icy Canadian wind for rattling/clinking cold weather.
The best months for an attendance are May/June and September/October .
Chicago is to New York and Los Angeles the third biggest metropolis of USA, and one of the cultural centers of the country.
In Old Town does not only give it many restaurants, to special also the most popular Blues club of Chicago ( Lincoln Ave, Halstead/Fullerton STR) is best B.L.U.E.S.(2519 N Halstead) and B.L.U.E.S etcetera (1124, W Belmont Ave). which found accomodation in Downtown (The loop) in a hotel and in the evening no longer far to drive would like, finds in the Jazz Showcase (636 S Michigan Ave in the Blackston hotel) and in the Cotton club (1710 S Michigan) good alternatives.
Only starting from 22 o'clock goes it here so correctly loosely.
If one in Chicago is already should one absolutely once Pizza eat. It was invented there " 1943 ", of Italians, but evenly not in Italy, where it only from Chicago arrived. The 100% Chicago Pizza gives it in the Pizzeria UNO (321-1000E Ohio) or in the folder to Due (943-2400 N Wabash).
Most objects of interest of Chicago concentrate Down Town. Scyscrapper and between them placed sculptures of every now and then enormous extents coin/shape the picture of the city.
One of the landmarks of Chicago forms naturally also the overhead railway ratternde with deafening noise over traffic. With it the south city can be orbited.
At all The Southside is considered as not even safe district. And it is generally advised against itself there, above all at night, to stop. As whenever with general correctness, there can be also once exceptions. With poor budget almost to it in a forced manner we had a stay exactly in a hotel in the Southside. Perhaps did one hold us for so burned down that one had compassion and us in peace left?
Nevertheless one should take good heed of the safety notes. Who wants to visit one the well-known Blues club, as for instance that new board, this should make with a taxi, since few steps can be already to foot in this area too much.
