    Officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most populous city in the United States, following New York City and Los Angeles. With a population of 2,746,388 in the 2020 census, it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States and the fifth most populous city in North America. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the U.S., while a small portion of the city's O'Hare International Airport also extends into DuPage County. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, defined as either the U.S. Census Bureau's metropolitan statistical area (9.6 million people) or the combined statistical area (almost 10 million residents), often called Chicagoland. It is one of the 40 largest urban areas in the world.
    Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. It grew rapidly in the mid-19th century; by 1860, Chicago was the youngest U.S. city to exceed a population of 100,000. Even after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, Chicago's population grew to 503,000 by 1880 - and then doubled to more than a million within the decade. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
    Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is part of the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked among the world's top six busiest airports according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. The economy of Chicago is diverse, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. It is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, Allstate, Archer Daniels Midland, Boeing, Caterpillar, Conagra Brands, Exelon, JLL, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Motorola Solutions, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, US Foods, and Walgreens.

      The city has energy. Traffic never truly dies down. The hour that there's less cars is 3am but even then, places like Cicero Avenue still have tons of traffic. That 3-4:30am window is your short window before you have everyone trying to rush to work

      @@jjdd4307you’re wrong only reason Chicago isn’t as busy it was because of Covid pre-Covid Chicago was equally bustling as nyc ask anyone who lived in Chicago their whole life after Covid it became a ghost city but it’s back thriving now I suggest you watch Chicago tours and vlogs and see how active it is now if you don’t believe me,chicago is probably less busy in the winter/fall Chicago winter/fall is 10x more brutal than nyc so I don’t blame them for staying indoors even tho nyc is wayyyy larger than Chicago you’ll see about the same amount of people out and about in both cities tbh Times Square only part of nyc that is more crowded than parts of Chicago that’s about it everywhere else both are equally bustling nyc has more population but that doesn’t mean anything LA is 2x bigger than Chicago and isn’t that bustling in downtown Atlanta is smaller than Chicago but there’s a lot of traffic and people out and about in buckhead

    • @TheTravelerRV
      @TheTravelerRV  2 роки тому +4

      i use a Sony 6400 camera for recording. it also helps to use a black/dark cloth covering the dash so the surface isnt as reflective. hope this helps you get better shots.
