- acmaurer, on 06/25/2008, -2/+74Gorgeous photos - a great reminder for why I love living in Chicago!
And #10 almost doesn't look real. Amazing. - VeryBoredNow, on 06/25/2008, -1/+56I've been a homeless person in Chicago for 7 years now. I love it.
- mbauer14, on 06/25/2008, -1/+46CHICAGO 2016!
- AmyVernon, on 06/25/2008, -2/+39chicago is a beautiful city. just wish the winters and summers weren't so freakin' brutal!!!
- Smokes, on 06/25/2008, -1/+29When did Ron Jeremy become a Chicago Cop? (Pic number 8) ;-)
- JMitch42, on 06/25/2008, -5/+3083 reasons why Chicago is the greatest city in the world.
- dstinnette, on 06/25/2008, -3/+27Living here you almost forget how gorgeous this city really is.
God, I ***** love Chicago. - jeffhansen, on 06/25/2008, -1/+19Even Lower Wacker is nice.

- Vvolf, on 06/25/2008, -6/+21Not putting Chicago down by any means, but you can make most of the major cities look great by selecting photos of only the nice areas.
- cslawren, on 06/25/2008, -6/+21I love Chicago, and this is just one of the reasons why. Great city to live near, but as a Chicago area pilot, I have to insert my obligatory "***** Mayor Daley" for closing my airport, Meigs Field.
- kwilms, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15I love (and miss) Chicago, such a wonderful city!
- naugrim, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15Although I've never been there, I've now got the sudden urge to visit Chicago. Picture #16 looks incredible.
Great photos! - LoudMusic, on 06/25/2008, -0/+13"A Chicago lifeguard watches over a wind-whipped Lake Michigan."
The wind ... blew ... ? - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -3/+15Talk about a long and winding road
What, no laughs? - Hetman, on 06/25/2008, -1/+13There are only 2 buildings left and 1 is condemmed. In about 5-10 years that area is going to be one of the nicest areas in Chicago.
- ffingers, on 06/25/2008, -1/+13***** city...are you serious?? where are you from, have you ever been to Chicago...yes I am a little biased as I live in downtown Chicago, but people from everywhere across the US consistently tell me how much they like Chicago...
and just an FYI, the things you associate with Chicago, yeah they happen in all the major cities...and why did you say north side....are you just a bitter white sox fan who's all pissy because his team got pummeled??? - Mastertone, on 06/25/2008, -2/+14While those are some great pics, I find a lot of the beauty in the city is away from the touristy parts of town. Rogers Park is one of the last vestiges of real people along the lake. It has yet to completely gentrify and most of the old-school houses and bungalows still stand.
Logan Square.
Pullman.
This is truly a great city to live in. I'm adding all you folks as my friend. - sigsegfalt, on 06/25/2008, -3/+14Yeah, because Chicago is the only city that has any of that stuff.
- acmaurer, on 06/25/2008, -1/+11It's a bridge.
(But for your sake, hahahahaha) :-) - moduc, on 06/25/2008, -3/+13The title is called "Spectacular Chicago". Would those you listed be spectacular to people? Maybe you. No, I believe you must misread it.
- anillop, on 06/25/2008, -1/+11You obviously don't know what your taking about. The spire isn't even close to where megs field used to be, they still have street festivals every weekend,U505 had to be brought indoors because of corrosion from the winters, and millennium park was built over an old rail yard in the heart of the city.
- rbalik, on 06/25/2008, -4/+13Greatest city in the world...
- galvo, on 06/25/2008, -3/+11#4 has a nice* shot of a girl's ass crack.
*hideous - mysedai, on 06/25/2008, -1/+9It was owned by the City of Chicago, and if closing it was the right and proper thing to do, Mayor Daley could have waited until it was legal to demolish the field.
Enlighten yourself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigs_Field - ColonelTribune, on 06/25/2008, -1/+8#8 is REALLY cool.
- jetblackz4, on 06/25/2008, -2/+9Sweet home Chicago !
Our food is pretty good too. - jgaspar, on 06/25/2008, -0/+7These pictures almost make you forget how violent our city is.
Just yesterday a 8 year old kid was shot twice due to a drive by shooting. It's a beautiful city but has alot of stupid people. - JlmAWP, on 06/25/2008, -3/+10It's nice being able to look down from my office and see over half of these places all from one view.
Also, no bean?

- foofoobee, on 06/25/2008, -0/+6First of all, shortest path, not point. And boy did you miss the point.
- wjhIV, on 06/25/2008, -0/+6He went out in the middle of the night and dug huge x's in the middle of the runway because he couldn't get the approval. Also, they put a concert stadium out there, its not all park.
- ToRoE, on 06/25/2008, -1/+7That's only half a bean. Here is the full Bean! ;) and yes, we love the bean!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/john_rav/1808911613/ - wild, on 06/25/2008, -3/+9Don't be pissed because the better team got the sweep.
- bcclist, on 06/25/2008, -0/+6tomorrow. we're not as fcked as the rest of the country yet...
- robk30, on 06/25/2008, -2/+8i can see that bridge from my office. love it.
- allengeer, on 06/25/2008, -1/+6"I had been there before, and I remembererd it well. Chicago -- this vicious, stinking zoo, this mean-grinning, Mace-smelling boneyard of a city; an elegant rockpile monument to everything cruel and stupid and corrupt in the human spirit."
-HsT - Chronoped, on 06/25/2008, -6/+11***** U of C... Those whores think they're so great... *grumbles*

- jetblackz4, on 06/25/2008, -1/+6Wrigley is one of the most amazing places to go if you ever visit Chicago. I make it mandatory anytime friends or relatives visit me in Chicago.
- DirtPile, on 06/25/2008, -2/+7Crescat scientia vita excalatur, *****.
- popz41, on 06/25/2008, -0/+5"In an illegal move on March 30, 2003, Mayor Daley ordered private crews to destroy the runway in the middle of the night, bulldozing large X-shaped gouges into the runway surface.[6] The required notice was not given to the Federal Aviation Administration or the owners of airplanes tied down at the field, and as a result sixteen planes were left stranded at an airport with no operating runway, and an incoming flight was diverted." -wikipedia
