Chicago1 highlights the mood of Chicago with its great architecture that mixes both the modernism style of the 20's and 30's and todays modern buildings. The city is gritty but not frantic and I its people friendly and real. Those skyscrapers built in the wake of the Chicago fire of the late 1800's were a testament of the bustling growth of Chicago as a hub of trade in the first 50 years of the 20th century and joined by the cleaner lines of architect and designers such as Mies Van der Rohe in the seconld half of the 20th century and in to the 21st. Also shown are Frank Lloyd Wright designed Art Deco and Art Nouveau windows. Chicago has been a well kept secret since the days of prohibition
