Built on the backs of entrepreneurs on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago was America’s first Northwestern hub and a key player in the prosperous locomotive scene.
Serving as the original gateway between America’s east and west, the busy capital of Illinois is even more connected today as an international center for finance, technology, and business. Dubbed “The Windy City” for its turbulent political climate, our love for Chicago reaches beyond its voice in current events and into its sweet spot as a destination for creative outdoor spaces, local craftsmanship and art, the beautiful blues of Lake Michigan, and signature-style hotdogs and pizzas.
