Ah, the Windy City. An amazing metropolis, you can take it all in at a glance from the Sears Tower skydeck, one of the tallest buildings in the world. This
place is so cool it's got two nicknames, and one of them, Second City, has now become synonymous with comedy. Some of the best-loved comedians got their start
at the Second City comedy club, and Saturday Night Live has been plucking them for years. There's also a genre of blues named after this city -- if you're
lucky, you can even catch blues master, Buddy Guy plying his trade, or visit the House of Blues for all kinds of aural inspiration.
Of course, Chicago is a sports lover's paradise and they take 'da Bears'
and 'da Bulls' very seriously. Rich in sports history, Chicago gets all
blustery about its Hall of Famers like Walter Payton and Michael Jordan. Throw
in World Series Champions Chicago White Sox, and the Chicago sports scene
really packs a punch.
