Lego Architecture 21033 Chicago (Чикаго) [2/100] Chicago

Chicago

Known as the Windy City, Chicago rises up from the shores

of Lake Michigan to present the perfect image of a modern

American metropolis.

As the ‘Gateway to the West’ and the starting point of the

famous Route 66, Chicago became America’s fastest

growing city as the country expanded westward. It is now

the third largest city in the USA, with 77 distinct districts and

a population of nearly three million people.

History and architecture have always gone hand-in-hand in

Chicago. The Great Fire of 1871 forced the city to completely

reinvent itself and provided the foundation for the vibrant

modern skyline we see today.

[ “It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up

with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he

can make them.” ]

Mark Twain
