I LUV LUV LUV this video in 3 -- 15-min segments on aspects of Chicagoland in history, first and awesome choices to make this city Great.... despite the Doomsayers and Political mockers.

It is meant to be a homage to Chicago and its Great LEGACY as a AMERICAN CITY of the PAST and FUTURE. All is not doom and gloom as some have it and in a state where some have little respect this Great American City is in your state.

Love the whole Public Broadcasting produced video posted a couple weeks ago on YouTube......
lots of info from the Chicago grid to industry to Parks to design for a better Chicago dating even to the 1800s. Visionaries who left their mark on the city they helped create with their money earned in wealth they made and wanted to leave their mark on the city looooong after their live was over.
Video is A LOT MORE THEN JUST FROM THE AIR VISUALS that are still awesome throughout....

Wallethub in a survey places IL at #25 just ahead of my state for - 2021’s States with the Best & Worst Taxpayer ROI. Certainly not the worst that some would call it....

No going all Political now.... this is meant to be a Positive thread.

Another video, aerial over Chicago's core with relaxing music as is part of its title. Very clear if large screen version is upped to 1440p or higher from last Oct Nov. and nearly 56,000 views and 1.2 thousand likes.

After the 8:30 mark, The South Loop with a gorgeous colorful development especially awesome interior Park. But what it is?

* FUNNY MISTAKES - spelled wrong-words of Iconic Chicago buildings .... in the video onscreen:

- after the 10:50 mark they call it Uptown has a bit of "Wrigley Field". On the screen it spells it -- "Wringley Field" ....

- then after the 11:30 mark .... a view of the top of the "Wrigley Building" is called --- The "Wrongley Building ".

- then after the 13:15 mark over the DuSable Bridge" scene is called --- "The Disable Bridge" onscreen.

.....Still the first 1/3 to 1/2 is pretty darn good I thought. Clear even if not totally sunny and very late fall with Christmas trees up and green mostly gone. STILL STUNNING VIEWS This video maker BY DRONE took. Just the last 1/2 is more of just some same shots therefore too long by then. STILL IT IS A RELAXING WATCH AND QUALITY OUTSTANDING. Best watched on YouTube full screen in full HD.

Chicago's grid and its vastness is second only to LA when flying in at night. It's amazing.
