Chicago, Illinois is a city with special character in terms of design. It has a rich city feel to it because of all the high skyscrapers and other tall buildings. Chicago is home to many businesses in banking, retail stores, and hotels. All of these buildings have similar structures. They are all very tall and can accommodate a lot of people. However, Chicago also has large areas of natural space. Pictured above is Grant Park and it is home to many different things each year. One of the world's biggest music festivals, Lollapalooza, is held here every summer. These large areas of nature help break away from the chaotic scene of the city. This is also home to two of the most common attractions in the city, Buckingham Fountain and Cloudgate which is more commonly referred to as "the bean." These two attractions are flooded with tourists each year. Even though Chicago is known for all of its tall skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, and the John Hancock building, its rich natural areas are also iconic to the identity of the city.
