A Trip to Chicago
“The next day we really had fun. Chicago is famous for its architecture, and some of the buildings are really, really cool. We went to the Navy Pier and got on this little boat that took us through the river to look at the buildings. There was a guide telling us the history of the whole city. “Like what? I only know what I heard from the television. There are lots of movies that tell about the history Chicago had with the mob.” “Yeah, we went on a gangster tour that told us about the crimes that had been committed, but it wasn’t even the most interesting thing we did.”
“Chicago had a great fire in 1871 that burned almost the whole town. The people had to run to find refuge in the river. I think over 300 people died in the fire.” “Your brother told me about the Chicago Fire. He said that you had walked all along the river to see the memorial of the people that died.” “They say that a cow had tipped over a lamp Then all the houses were made of wood, so they caught on fire really easily. Now all the houses in Chicago are made of brick. They have a very distinctive style.”

“We also saw the big Sears and Roebuck building and the Merchandise Mart on the architectural tour. Chicago used to be the hub of manufacturing and distribution for the whole western part of the US. People who lived out there had to order all of their goodsThe guide said that Sears had been the first company to offer this service and had revolutionized shopping. They used to have this huge catalog that people used to order absolutely everything they needed.”

designer
“Wow! Imagine if we still delivered things using horse and carriages. I think some online platforms would get a lot of complaints.” “That’s true. So, back to Chicago. After the architectural tour, we walked on the Miracle Mile and saw all of the expensive, designer shops and the John Hancock Tower. A lot of people think that it’s the tallest building in the city, “Yeah, your brother told me that you had seen a lot of confused people. What is actually the tallest building, then?” “It’s the Sears - I mean it’s the Willis Tower. It used to be called the Sears Tower, but it was recently bought and changed names. We went there the next day.”
