Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet, you can visit any city here in the US and you will see that it is one of the cleanest and most friendly city to visit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chicago&#39;s population is the largest in the Midwest and the city itself is the third largest city in the US after N.Y and L.A. The difference between these big cities is that the people are very friendly, family oriented, and hard working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chicago was founded in 1833 and grew to became the center for business and finance. Chicago has been ranked by Forbes as the world&#39;s 5th most economically powerful city. The former mayor &lt;a href=&quot;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Richard_M._Daley&quot; style=&quot;color: orange;&quot;&gt;Richard M. Daley&lt;/a&gt; who was elected in 1989 and who led the economic development of the city became Chicago&#39;s longest serving Mayor. During his tenure, he improved Chicago&amp;nbsp; parks, museums, arts centers, and much more, he also made sustainable development the core of his economic policy. As of this year 2011, the city has a new mayor &lt;a href=&quot;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel&quot; style=&quot;color: orange;&quot;&gt;Rahm Emanuel&lt;/a&gt; who served as Chief of Staff of the Obama Administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this blog I will post information about the city&#39;s architecture, arts, restaurants, museums, and much, much more...So keep coming back to learn about one of the most beautiful cities in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
