Chicago Illinois
Long the United State' second largest city (now its third-largest )Chicago is the only Midwestern metropolis to rank with the great cities of the nation's east and west coasts . Its nickname , "the Windy City,' though thought by many to refer to a climate influenced by the city's location on the southwest shore of lake Michigan, actually has its origin in the civic pride that has inspired its citizens to boastfulness for generations . The 'City of Big Shoulders " and Hog Butcher to the Word' - in the words of poets Carl Sandburg, one of its most famous sons - Chicago has undergone important changes in the letter half of the twentieth century ,most notably its population shrinkage in the face of growing suburbanization. Nevertheless , the legendary city of skyscrapers- still home to the world's tallest building remains a vital commercial, intellectual ,and cultural center.
