Chicago
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
Chicago is a major city in the U.S. state of Illinois. The city is the largest in the Midwest and the third most populous city in the United States, with approximately 2.9 million people. The Chicago Metropolitan area, informally known as Chicagoland, has a population of 9.4 million in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana making it the third largest in the United States. Chicago is located along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan and is a major center of transportation, industry, politics, culture, finance, medicine and higher education.
Chicago, like much of the Midwest, has a climate that is prone to extreme, often volatile, weather conditions. Chicago has a major theater scene, and is the birthplace of modern improvisational comedy. The city is home to two renowned comedy troupes. Chicago is known for its Chicago blues, Chicago soul, Jazz, and Gospel.
Chicago experiences a boom with day tourists, owing to the clear air, town character with rich culture, high quality of life and conspicuously original history. The picturesque scenery, the majesty of nature, the slow pace of life, and the welcoming nature of its people also combine to make this region one of the most important tourist attractions in United States.
