The Line depicts the skyline of Chicago as seen from the shores of Lake Michigan, from the South Side to the North Side, with landmarks including Willis Tower, Aon Center, John Hancock Center, and the Navy Pier.
Situated in north-eastern Illinois, Chicago is the economic and cultural center of the Midwest. Home to the world’s first exchange for agricultural commodities, Chicago is where the prices for wheat and soy are set in the United States. In the financial district known as the Loop, Willis Tower stands proud. It was the world’s tallest skyscraper until 1998. On a clear day, four states are visible from its 103rd floor: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The largest park in the city of Chicago, Lincoln Park, has 15 baseball pitches, 35 tennis courts and 163 volleyball courts. Chicago owes its colorful past to a great fire that gutted more than 18,000 buildings in 1871 and its reputation for lawlessness in the 1920s-1930s, which was helped along by public enemy no.1, Al Capone.
