Carlo Maria Giulini - The Chicago Recordings

Chicago, My Kind of Town from A to Z

Advantages: The contrasting architecture. Music. Relaxing Parks.
Disadvantages: Parking fees. Rush Hour.

Disney to Bloomingdales. Bloomingdales alone has six floors of shopping with hundreds of the top brands to choose from. Shopping can get very tiring!! ~~T is for Trolley Tour~~ Chicago's operates a hop-on hop-off trolley tour daily except Thanksgiving, December 10th, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. The tour lasts for 2 hours from start to finish but of course you can get on and off as many times as you wish. A pre-recorded tour is given through head phones available in many languages. The tour costs $26 for adults and $15 for children. You even get a voucher for a free Hershey's chocolate bar and Garrett Popcorn sample! ~~U is for Union Station~~ Chicago's Union Station was built in 1925. It is one of the last remaining grand American railway stations. The waiting room is well worth a visit with the 112 ft high vaulted ...

Review of Chicago

chicago airport

Advantages: Gets me from A to b efficiently
Disadvantages: It's an airport!

Chicago airport. On a recent visit to san Diego, we had to have a stop in Chicago airport for a couple of hours...most of my travelling seems to be spent in airports! It was the busiest airport in the United States until Atlanta became the busiest and it was apparently voted best airport in North America in 2000...that's 8 years ago so i don't know which airport has been winning since then. The airport is 20 miles from downtown Chicago but since we weren't actaully going to Chicago we didn't actally leave the airport so I can't comment on the transport links. **The Terminals** Of course when stuck in an airport these are the places you see most often. There are 4 terminals and strangely enough these are Terminals 1, 2, 3 and Terminal 5 which is the International Terminal...whatever happened to number 4? All of the terminals are ...

Review of Chicago Airport

My Kind of Town (Chicago is)

Advantages: Lots to see and do. Friendly people. It's big. I got lots of cool stuff, cheap.
Disadvantages: American beer is minging.

Chicago?s not a bad spot to spend a few weeks, which is just as well, because I found myself positioned there for training with my new job for nine weeks. While we weren?t based in the center of the city, we did spend a large amount of time there both sightseeing and socialising. Chicago is serviced by two airports: O'Hare (the big, famous one) and Midway (the one no-one's heard of). They're both located quite close to the city centre (close by American standards, that is) and getting to and from either airport is easy. Travel to and from the suburbs is done via Metra trains (http://www.metrarail.com) into Chicago Union Station and at the time of writing they currently offer unlimited weekend tickets for $5. While in the center of the city itself, walking may be the best way to travel. The sidewalks are large and practically every ...
