America's “Second City,” Chicago is the largest financial center in the United
States outside of New York. The city was home to Al Capone and other Prohibition-era
gangsters, but today it's better known as the birthplace of the skyscraper.
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Windy City attracts visitors with acclaimed
museums, cosmopolitan shopping, a vibrant sports scene and theater offerings that rival
New York's or London's.
