My "Flight" of beers at Gooseisland |
2. Their taxi's are white.
3. Their subway is called the L Line. The different routes are distinguished by color. I was really confused, because in New York City, you ride numbers and letters which are ALSO colors. However in Chicago, you ride colors. We rode the Red Line.
4. It is cold. Like Frosty the Snowman will never melt type cold.
5. It is windy. Like destroy your hair, cut through all your layers of warmth and get to your bones.
6. People are actually pretty nice. The handful of people I asked about food, directions, what they were fishing for were quite talkative.
7. Chicago Deep Dish Pizzas will make your tummy hurt! This pizza is heavy! Both physically holding and trying to eat. It was amazing, but tons of cheese!
8. The Chicago style hot dog is also amazing! The poppy seed bun was fun and the little peppers added a very nice kick.
9. 8 blocks make up a mile.
10. Chicago is a huge city, but doing a google search, it is in not the most dangerous city. Flint and Detroit Michigan kept taking the top spots on the lists.
11. They have like awnings outside the doors during winter to help keep the winter chill out.
12. The art museum has Lions in front of it that kind of make it look like a Library.
13. Gooseland is a brewery in Chicago.
14. They have great fried pickles and to get a sampling of beers you call it a flight. Currently they had an Greenline beer that was my favorite.
15. It's is called Chi-Town, I have no idea why. They also had signs for Chicagoland, and I don't know if that is a different place like Livonia is to Detroit or if it just another nick name.
16. They keep their lights on and up on trees past Christmas. It was really quite pretty.
That is all I could think of. If I remember more I shall add them to the list. Do you have any fun facts that you've learned about Chicago? If so let me know!
