CHICAGO

Chicago is situated on the south-western shore of Lake Michigan in the Great Lakes Region. It is the second largest city in the United Staes of America and is important as a great industrial and grain centre. Lake breezes and extremes of climate have given it the nickname of "Windy City".
Chicago is a typical American city with tall modern buildings. The streets are wide, straight and long. There are many cars and other vehicles there, that is why the air is not healthy.
Like New York, Chicago is a city of skyscrapers. Chicago's tallest buildings are the John Hancock Tower (or "Big John", as they call it), the Tandard Oil Building ("Big Stan"), the City's Twin Towers and the Sears Tower, which is the tallest building in the USA and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.
