111 Places in Chicago That You Must Not Miss

Overview

"Chicago. City of the Big Shoulders. What started off as a small fur-trading settlement is today a bustling metropolis. Once considered the ""hog butcher of the world, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and the nation's freight handler"", Chicago's colourful past remains hidden in the nooks and crannies of this wonderful windy city. Adventures await, from the glamourous to the gritty. Sip dirty martinis in an elegant, underground, 1920's bank vault. Paddle a kayak down the infamous Bubbly Creek of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. While away an afternoon in a salt cave, or smoke a classic cigar in the oldest family-run tobacco shop in the U.S. Snorkel a 32-acre, limestone sheet shoal, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the Midwest. Dine outdoors in a 23rd floor Beaux-Arts cupola overlooking the Chicago River. Whether you're an out-of-towner or a diehard Chicago dweller who thinks you've seen it all, these 111 hidden places are waiting for you to discover them. AUTHOR: Amy Bizzarri is an extreme Chicago history buff, and a freelance writer. She lives with her two children in a vintage 1910 home in the Logan Square neighbourhood of Chicago. When she's not writing, you'll most likely find her swimming laps at Holstein Park pool, riding her bicycle around Humboldt Park or sharing an atomic sundae at Margie's Candies. SELLING POINTS: . The ultimate insider's guide to Chicago, fully illustrated with 111 full-page colour photographs . Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides . Part of the international 111 Places/111 Shops series with over 170 titles and 1 million copies in print worldwide . Appeals to both the local market (9.5 million people call Chicago home) and the tourist market (over 60 million people visit Chicago every year!) . Revised and updated edition"

Author Information

Amy Bizzarri is an extreme Chicago history buff, and a freelance writer. She lives with her two children in a vintage 1910 home in the Logan Square neighbourhood of Chicago. When she's not writing, you'll most likely find her swimming laps at Holstein Park pool, riding her bicycle around Humboldt Park or sharing an atomic sundae at Margie's Candies. Susie Inverso has now photographed three books in the 111 Places series. After spending her entire life in Chicago, she and her husband decided to relocate to Denver so they could enjoy the beauty of the mountains. When not hiking, biking, or skiing, Susie runs Crimson Cat Studios in Lakewood and loves capturing portraits of families, pets, and couples against the gorgeous backdrops that Colorado offers.
