Chicago, Illinois

The Windy City’s great appeal and allure has caused us to have Chicago Moving Companies on speed dial. The city attracts movers and vacationers because of its great city landscape and profound reputation as a fun city. Over 11.7 million domestic business travelers and over 32.4 million leisure travelers come to Chicago, Illinois every year. Most people come here to enjoy the sights, galleries and not to mention the local cuisine. We would love to climb abroad a plane, right now, just to have a slice of their city’s renowned deep-dish pizza. There’s also the Chicago-style hot dog that gets all the attention on T.V. shows and food magazines. What makes it “Chicago-style,” is the mixture of having a Vienna beef dog loaded up with relish, mustard, poppers, tomatoes, dill pickle, with a little bit of celery salt. Other Chicago favorites include Italian beef sandwiches with au jus, the Maxwell Street Polish deep-fried kielbasa sausage and Puerto Rican-inspired jibarito.

History:
In the 18th Century, the area was inhabited by the Native American tribe of the Potawatomis. The first explorer to land in Chicago from Europe was Jean Baptiste Point de Sable around the 1780s. Chicago became U.S. territory after the Northwest Indian War, forced the Native Americans to hand land over. After a couple years, the land was developed by building forts, infrastructure, railway and buildings. However, in 1871, what would be known as the Great Chicago Fire burned down most of the city including its primary business section. From then on, buildings fortified and made from steel were popular. Chicago has always been a prominent U.S. city. People have been moving to Chicago ever since its start as a territory. The great 1920s brought in gangsters like Al Capone and regular citizens in search of jobs.

Tourism:
Chicago may be known for its metropolitan area, its famous O’Hare international Airport and its proximity between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River and hot dogs, but it’s ultimately known for the fun and possibilities for adventure here. The top Chicago attractions include the world’s largest indoor aquarium at the John G. Shedd Aquarium and Oceanarium, the Chicago Children’s Museum, the Brookfield Zoo, the Field Museum, the Museum of Science and Industry and the Navy Pier & Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. Our favorite sights in Chicago were the shark tank at the John G. Shedd Aquarium and the Coral Reef Tank. We also saw incredible sea life face-to-face in their tanks. While in Chicago, you should also try to catch a home game at either Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, or the U.S. Cellular Field, which is home to the Chicago White Sox.

Economy:
Chicago has a healthy economy mainly because of the diverse components that support it. The unemployment rate here exceeds the national average, but this is a trend seen in other large cities. The City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD) have been trying to grow its industries and communities one at a time. There are funds in place to make it all happen—from bringing in new companies to improving current spaces to draw people in. Some of the greatest industries right now in the city of Chicago are manufacturing, printing, publishing, finance, investing and food processing. There are a lot of well-known companies headquartered in this great city such as Oprah Winfrey’s own Harpo Studios, Google, AllState Insurance Company, Boeing, HolyCross Hospital, Exelon Corporation and so many more. This is definitely a city of star power in terms of big companies and corporations rooted here.
