Chicago-style means so many things to so many people. This large and diverse city has been called a blue-collar town filled with high culture and gracious living. It’s a town of historical importance with high-tech amenities. It’s the birthplace of the skyscraper, but also offers the Prairie-style architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Did you know that Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, nightlife, shopping, skyscrapers, jazz and blues, business, baseball, and beaches? The sandy shores of Lake Michigan provide Chicagoans with a summer playground that stretches from the Evanston border to South Shore and is great for runners, cyclists, and in-line skaters throughout the year. The lakefront, preserved long ago by city planners, is an aesthetic backdrop few other cities can offer.
