Chicago has spoken: The top 7 Wonders of Chicago

The 1st Wonder is: The Lakefront One of the top activities is the "Dog Beach" on the North Side. People are able to let their Retrievers and herders run amok along the shore. Then there's the Navy Pier on the east side downtown with a view of the skyline that takes your breath away. And Shakespeare, and a Ferris wheel! On the south shore there's the Cultural Center where the water moves to the sounds of Jazz. Become one of the million people who flock to the 4th of July fireworks. In the summer, the lake offers respite from the heat and a place of solitude for an early morning run in winter.

The 2nd Wonder is: Formerly a working class neighborhood, Wrigleyville, is the neighborhood directly surrounding Wrigley Field along North Clark and West Addison Streets. Wrigleyville features lowrise brick buildings and houses, some with rooftop bleachers colloquially called Wrigley Roofs.

The 3rd Wonder is: The "L" The 'L' consists of a network of eight heavy rail lines totalling 106.1 route miles (57.1 miles elevated, 36.9 miles surface, and 12.1 miles subway) on over 242.6 miles of double-track rail line with 144 stations. The oldest section dates from 1892. The 'L' primarily serves the city proper plus eight close-in suburbs. Seventeen stations, mainly newer or at outlying locations, include "park-'n'-ride" facilities with a total of more than 6,600 parking spaces. About 15% of the total track length is underground.

The 4th Wonder is: Sears Tower The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States, by the measurement from the ground to its roof. It was also the tallest Skyscraper in the world until 1998, when Petronas Towers in Kuala umpur reached 1,483 ft. Then in 2004, the Petronas Towers were surpassed by Taipei 101 in Taipei Taiwan when it reached 1,671 ft.

The 5th Wonder is: The Water Tower The Chicago Water Tower is a landmark located at 806 North Michigan Avenue along the Magnificent Mile shopping district of the city.

Located adjacent to Loyola University Chicago's downtown campus, the Chicago Water Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau Visitor's Welcome Center.

The tower, built in 1869 by architect William W. Boyington from yellowing Joliet limestone, is 154 feet tall. Inside was a 138 foot high standpipe to hold water. In addition to being used for firefighting, the pressure in the pipe could be regulated to control water surges in the area.

The 6th Wonder is: The University of Chicago Responsible for 78 Nobel Prize winners (all faculty members, students or researchers), 13 recipients of a MacArthur Fellowship (commonly known as a "genius grant"), 3 Pulitzer Prize winners, 8 recipients of the National Medal of Science, the University of Chicago was founded by another achiever, John D. Rockefeller, along with the American Baptist Educational Society, on land donated by Marshall Field. It has become one of the world's pre-eminent institutions of learning and advancing knowledge. As the school motto notes: Crescat scientia; vita excolatur ("Let knowledge grow; let life be enriched").

The 7th Wonder is: The Museum of Science and Industry The Museum of Science and Industry was established in 1926 by wealthy Sears, Roebuck & Company chairman Julius Rosenwald, who pledged $3 million to the institution. He eventually donated about $7 million. He also insisted that his name not appear on the building, but nonetheless, for the first few years of the museum's existence, it was known as the Rosenwald Industrial Museum. The name of the museum was later change to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1928.

8th Place is: The Chicago River In the 1770s, Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable built his farm on the northern bank of the river near Wolf Point, the first non-Native American settlement of Chicago, and early in the next century Fort Dearborn was built on the southern bank of the river.

9th Place is: Millennium Park It was Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley's ambitious idea to realize that which was originally designed as part of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago, a plan for the future of Chicago created in 1909.

10th Place is: Chicago Blues The Chicago blues is a form of blues music that developed in Chicago, Illinois by adding electrically amplified guitar, drums, piano, bass guitar and sometimes saxophone to the basic guitar/harmonica Delta blues. The music developed mainly as a result of the "Great Migration" of poor black workers from the South into the industrial cities of the North such as Chicago in particular, in the first half of the twentieth century.

11th Place is: Chicago hot dog The style, once known as a "Depression sandwich," is generally acknowledged as having originated at Fluky's, a well-known stand, in 1929.

12th Place is: The Chicago theater scene Theater is the heart and soul of Chicago with The Goodman Theater (Chicago's oldest currently-active nonprofit organization), Steppenwolf (founded in 1974 by Gary Sinise, Terry Kinney and Jeff Perry in the basement of a church) and Second City (an improvisational comedy troupe started in 1959 and is based in the Old Town). If you're in Chicago, you better be in a Theater!

13th Place is: Lower Wacker Drive Locals love to surprise their out of town friends with a drive into lower Wacker, a twisting, tunnel-like roadway you'd swear was built for the sole purpose of filming car chases.

14th Place is: Chicago bungalows The majority of Chicago Bungalows were built between 1910 and 1940. They were typically constructed from brick (sometimes in decorative patterns) and had one and a half stories. At one point, nearly a third of the houses in the Chicago area were bungalows.
