Architecture is one of the most important legacies of Chicago. Walking through town you are treated to a history tour or you can just book a tour with the Chicago Architectual Society. Here are some samples of images I took in my almost ten years in Chicago. But don’t be mistaken, this is the glossy side of Chicago and we all know, unless you have been hiding under your sofa with earplugs in your ears, that there is another side to Chicago, segregation, poverty, violence, industry and industrial pollution and more. But some of that will be subject of another post. Here its all about architecture and other landmarks.
