"Chicago - The Windy City of Big... " a Chicago Travel Page by MatthewMetcalfe

Sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago offers something for everyone: World Class Sports, Food, Museums and Entertainment all reside within this City. A robust immigrant population makes the city diverse. A downtown with buildings that span almost every school of architecture gives visitors something interesting to look at on every street corner. Then, like an artery through the city is the river. It's a focal point for the St. Patricks day festival and the city wouldn't be the same without the River.

A large Irish immigrant population means that you won't have to look to hard to find a pub that will pour you the perfect pint. As any fan of Guinness knows, if you've got a good pour of Guinness the rest of the details pretty much fall into place.
