Product Description

Few cities in the world can combine culture, art, and history in the way Chicago does. It is a city with multiple ethnic groups living side by side, creating a rich cultural fabric that can be felt even in the darkest ally. It is a city that provided a canvas for architects to experiment, embracing the skyscraper building type best exemplified by the Sears tower. Chicago is home to numerous museums, some of them with a worldwide stature. Chicago is also the birth place of such famous figures as Ernest Hemingway, and was home to Frank Lloyd Wright.

Chicago is able to encompass great ethnic diversity, magnificent architecture, public institutions, and history under one roof. From the Loop to Chinatown, from the elevated train to the Lake Shore Drive, and from street art to the master works in the Art Institute, Chicago provides a wide range of vistas and insights into a true American city.

This booklet is a brief look at the key ingredients that sustain Chicago in this exceptional combination. The photographs herein aim at providing a total image of a diverse and multi-faceted city in the heart of America.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SHOTS OF MY CITY'S COASTLINE!
I love to collect postcard booklets for my friends etc. to send them. I even have a postcard collector who is autistic and appreciates those which have meaning to him. (He lives in a state besides mine.) But? These are beautiful shots and in a way? I want to horde them! *smile*
