Picture of the day
The skyline of Chicago, the third most populous city in the United States. Chicago was incorporated on March 4, 1837, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. This panorama of the Near South Side, Loop and Near North Side community areas, taken from the Museum Campus, includes some of the tallest buildings in the city and the world.
