I wish I knew what the other locations were so I could name a NYC equivalent.
Grant Park (Please don't say Central Park. That's your Lincoln Park). (Waterfront park, neat and orderly, pathways, large-scale events, big but not the biggest, great for open-air concerts, cutting-edge parchitecture--I just coined that--in Millennium Park portion of the Park)
Tri-Taylor (Historically Italian nabe, small enclave neighborhood, ornate greystone walk-ups, little Italian delis and pizza shops, tree-lined streets, 3.5 mi. from downtown and surrounded by a highway, a rough nabe, and the medical district. Currently much more diverse but still has the Old World feel).
Western Avenue (Longest street in the city. Start at the south end and head 28 mi. north to get a perfect cross section of the South, West, and North Sides of the city)
Wrigleyville (Nabe completely devoted to a sports team and surrounding an old, classic stadium. 3 miles from downtown, but fully urban and vibrant day and night).
The Shedd Aquarium
Lake Shore Drive (waterfront highway offering gorgeous views of the skyline)
The Lighthouse (about 1/4 mile from the shore, a relic from another era, picturesque against the skyline)
Navy Pier (Tourist trap! On the water. Boats, tours, cruises, overpriced restaurants, thrill rides, a Ferris Wheel, Crazy Maze, hot air balloon ride, you get the idea)
The Water Tower (Historic, castle-like brick structure in the heart of the Mag Mile shopping district)
its like our stuff is known. chicago stuff isn't as well known...thanks.
Yeah, I know what you mean. On the opposite version of this thread, I couldn't identify half the things listed to be in New York. Isn't it funny how we expect people to know these things about our cities?
central park
the brookyln bridge
statue of liberty
nyc's subway system
empire state building
coney island
ny yankees
madison sq garden
broadway
5th ave
etc.
ppl would know what i was talking about, even if they were in some far off corner of the western most point of the u.s.
i don't know if the stuff the OP listed is obscure or if its just something that is not recognized outside of chicago or a little bit of both, but pics and/or videos would help.
I almost said this, except Grant Park is on a lake if I correctly recall, and Prospect Park isn't on water.
