Good video. I'm due to fly to Chicago from the UK in 4 weeks time. I'm spending 3 days in Chicago which is the start of my route 66 adventure. Can't wait.
@@adamclark9004 I enjoyed Chicago especially the architecture cruise on the Chicago river. The Wrigley Field area was also lively at night time. And doing the 66 was a good experience seeing so much diversity from state to state and place to place.
Yes I'm going in 2 days I got family in Englewood. And the west side. Can't wait. Supposed to be bringing them 10 thousand dollars cash on Sunday. Can't wait should be fun. I'm gonna take the L. I have no car. These people are so nice in Englewood.
Thank you for a wonderful video guide! Excellent job! I had no idea Chicago had so much to offer. Much bigger and prettier along the waterfront than I ever imagined. Would love to visit this city now! Once again, thanks for all your hard work putting this together!
Love the stop at Snickers Bar! Stayed at the Kinzie hotel St Patrick's day 2022, heading there again in 2 weeks for the Festivities again! Great food! Can't wait to get into a Jazz Club!
This is great! I loved my visit to Chicago in 2015. I love seeing the buses and all the places I visited with my son around Thanksgving. I also like to watch "While You Were Sleeping" and see the same places again. We called the silver cloud the bean back then, though
I’ve watched several videos while planning our trip to Chicago. This was beautiful, with so many fun facts that I hadn’t heard in other peoples videos. Thank you for sharing!
No one has ever disputed this claim to me, because frankly they can’t: Chicago’s north side neighborhoods comprise America’s most beautiful (true) urban environment. Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Roscoe Village, Old Town, Andersonville. On and on. So much more to Chicago than downtown.
What's the point of having beautiful, walkable neighborhoods all crammed in one side of a huge city, when 2/3 live in poverty, constant crime, and a giant car-infested wasteland? I stopped liking Chicago after discovering it's a gilded city, painted over a pile of burning shit.
Wow Chicago is my hometown I have not been there in years my family moved here to Texas when I was 14 years old and I was there before my aunt died I was 26 years old at the time now I'm 42 and I have not been there ever since my aunt passed away it has really developed into something nice it was always beautiful but it has gotten so much more advanced I think I owe myself the time to go back up there to see old friends and family members
@@keyshawnscott12 Y'know, I've never been too into sportsball of any kind. But with the right crowd, I can have fun doing just about anything!!! I DO know enough to not ever badmouth the Sox, hehe.
@@dabrabbit7352 they is no color banging in Chicago nice try. It's not LA. and If there is bloods and crypts they would be in the Southside if there are any
@@dabrabbit7352 Dude, get your head out of the media man, you shouldn't believe everything you hear. Common sense is a requirement to live anywhere not even a big city but a small town requires it...
My brother has lived in and near Chicago for 30 years. The only issue he had was his car broken into. Most of the crime is pretty far from the city center and the lakeshore. Almost all the shootings are drug and gang related. I have been to many Sox games on the Southside and never felt unsafe.
Some of the many things Chicago is famous for are: Chicago-style hot dogs, Chicago-style (deep dish) pizza, Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, jazz music, and 1920s gangsters, for example Al Capone. Chicago is also known for architecture, for example the Sears Tower and museums. It is also known for its loyal sports fans.
I am visiting Chicago In three weeks, can’t wait and getting so excited 😆 watching your video, I also watched your video about Boston which will be my first stops next to Chicago.
Excellent video! Chicago is a GREAT city...really beautiful and an exciting city. I'm glad you mentioned the fact that Chicago is safe...the media portrays all of Chicago as a murderous, terrifying place and that just is not the case. The parts of the city where crime is out of control have nothing of interest for a visitor, so there is no reason to even go near them.
Planning a vacation to Chicago and I am already tired out after watching this video. Well done. Seen it all and now I am ready to stay home and enjoy my front yard.
This is the best Chicago travel video I've ever seen! Nice work! Chi town gets a bad reputation from Fox News and I'm not trying to get political but sure Chicago has a bad gang problem on the Southside and Westside but any tourists with common sense would not even think to venture into these neighborhoods but with that being said there are some good soul food spots on the Southside that are worth checking out!
Chicgo este unicul oras din lume in care te indragostesti pe loc etse cel mai frumos oras din lume stiu ca ma repet ori de cate ori este nevoie dar aceasta este realitatea este unicat.
Man, great job on video I absolutely loved it, simple, showed many great places and kid friendly things and many places I'm putting on my itenary when I go later on soon. Thank you much! I didn't fazt forward any of this video!
Can't wait guys. Heading to Chicago in 2 days. Going to Englewood and the west side. Gotta bring my cousin 10 thousand in cash. I love Englewood. See you Sunday guys. Awesome. Can someone show me to where I'm going. I don't want to walk around with 10 thousand dollars in such a beautiful neighborhood without someone who really knows where they are going. Hey let me kno. Grandma's are welcome.
Good video and explaining throughout the video! The sculpture you pointed at is called nickname: The Bean; The two tall buildings is called Marina Twin Towers (Luxury Condos).
Surprised he didn't show us the Wrigley Building and disappointed we didn't see the Spirit of America,Craig Breedlove's land speed record holding jet powered car in the Science Museum but I found this video very enjoyable which brought back some great memories for me. I was in Chicago during 9/11, due to fly home that day so had an extra ten days to fill in until I could return. Had a great time despite the tragic event in New York.
Thanks for your kind words about Chicago. It really pisses me off that people think it’s so dangerous here. I’ve been here my entire 30 years and I’ve never even once felt like I was in any immediate danger. There are very small areas of the city that have issues but overall Chicago is safe for a large city. We’re just an easy target for the media because we have liberal leadership pretty much from top to bottom but the numbers don’t support all the bad press.
Well I’ve been on the south side of Chicago my entire life, family has been here for over 100 years. You are either a liar or living in fantasy land. In 2017 Chicago set a city record for carjackings with about 930. Typically in the last decade or so the city would have about 350 or so. That number was shattered in 2020 with 1,300. In the first 5 weeks or so of 2021 there were around 200 carjackings. Very few perpetrators are caught or prosecuted. There are routine shootings on expressways now with people shooting at each other Mad Max style while driving. Last I checked there were close to 70 expressway shootings. As of last year, the overall homicide clearance rate was about 12%. I know Chicago Police officers that tell out of state family and friends to stay away. I am old enough to remember the crack fueled gang wars of the late 80’s and early 90’s. The city was more violent then but the violence was largely isolated to projects and the immediate areas. Now the violence is all over. You never saw shootings downtown or in river north. Then there are the frequent smash and grabs and groups of south side teens terrorizing the lakefront and Michigan Ave. That didn’t happen before either. There was a brawl in Neiman Marcus where several illegal handguns were seized from the perpetrators. Then there is the terrorizing of Chinatown. Ever since shuttle busses started taking Chinatown passengers to and from NW Indiana and SW Michigan casinos 20 years ago a certain demographic responsible for most of the other crime have been terrorizing Chinatown and the area around Chinatown. Elderly men an women beaten and robbed. Women carjacked. This is frequent, underreported and only getting worse. I could keep going. You would be shocked what doesn’t make it to the local news or what is going on every day throughout the city. I have talked to gangbangers, drug dealers big and small, city workers, county workers and state workers. Try to imagine the connections my family has made being in relatively one location for over a century. You have seen them on the news and probably depicted in a movie or two. Some government employees refuse to go into certain neighborhoods without a police escort. I plan on getting out of here and moving to NW Indiana. The city is already dead, some just don’t realize it yet. There are several reasons but the primary is the unfunded city pensions. They can kick the can down the road and raise taxes for only so long. Eventually the politicians will have to drastically overhaul and cut pensions which would probably be political suicide or the city will have to file bankruptcy.
@@paulieprinceton4550 sir only liar is you! Chicago has problems but these aren’t throughout the whole city. Name one city that doesn’t have bad parts with bad problems! Just because your specific area has problems doesn’t mean that’s the whole city.
i was so lucky to be able to go to chicago… we were at a family member’s house in wisconsin and chicago was its neighbor, so my mom took that opportunity to go to the willis tower. which was so cool. probably never going to chicago again cuz it’s so far away from where i live:(
I can tell that you are a true Chicagoan because you called it The John Hancock! Thank you for that. I never ever call it the other name! Never will is😅
i was just dreaming chicago illunoi when i had a friend lived there named noel smith ..but it was just my dream to go there if rreally time willing for us..

What did you learn new.
I used to live in the suburbs of Chicago for almost 12 years moved to California and can’t wait to visit back this month after almost 10 years.
which do you like better California or Chicago?

This city looks clean ✨
it’s not
Chicago is considered one of the cleanest cities in America. However, there are a few run-down neighborhoods with a lot of trash.
Next time, go check out some of the many neighborhoods such as wrigley, west loop, and wicker park. Great job on the video!
