Chicago
It has been said that Chicago is the city where the dandified. East meets the Wild West. Despite its beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is not a soft dreamy place. It is an industrial city, the USA¢s largest railway center, and it has the world¢s busiest airport.
Chicago¢s well-known nickname, «Windy City», refers to the fierce winds which occasionally blow off Lake Michigan. The city was also known, for many years, for its famous gangsters. However, people from Chicago are more proud of their achievements in other fields. They boast that it was they who invented skyscraper. This claim is based on a street-skeleton building, ten stories high, built in 1885.
Chicago has a population with many different ethnic origins. There are people of German, Scandinavian, Arabic, Korean, Polish and Irish descent, as well as one million Blacks and half a million Hispanics. The city¢s total population of 3,4 million makes it the USA¢s second largest city, after New York City.
