Chicagoland Speedway

Chicagoland Speedway är en amerikansk ovalbana som ligger i Joliet, Illinois. Den är 2,4 kilometer lång och rymmer 75 000 åskådare. Banan Banan byggdes åren 1999 och 2000, och stod färdig att användas till 2001. Både NASCAR och Indy Racing League började använda banan årligen. Den är D-formad, med 18° banking i kurvorna, 11° på start- och målrakan, och dessutom även 5° på bakrakan, som även den kröker sig något, vilket gör den unik bland intermediateovalerna. Banan är även berömd för oerhört jämna målgångar i IndyCar-sammanhang. År 2008 vann Hélio Castroneves med 0,003 sekunder före Scott Dixon. Den jämnaste målgången inom motorsporten skedde också på banan, då Logan Gomez vann med 0,0005 sekunder före Alex Lloyd i Indy Lights 2007. På banan vann även Dario Franchitti IndyCar Series 2007, efter att ha passerat titelrivalen Scott Dixons bränsletomma bil i sista kurvan. Även 2006 års avslutning var spektakulär, då Dan Wheldon tog en nödvändig seger, men Sam Hornish Jr. blev trea och tog titeln. Hade fyran Hélio Castroneves kommit en placering högre hade han vunnit titeln. Kvalrekord

Kinzie Street Bridge

The Kinzie Street Bridge is a single-leaf bascule bridge built in 1909 that spans the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States. Incidents In April 1992, rehabilitation work on the pilings for the bridge damaged a freight tunnel located under the Chicago River. The tunnel breach eventually led to the Chicago flood, which flooded the Chicago Loop with an estimated 250 million US gallons (1,000,000 m3) of water. In August 2004, a Dave Matthews Band tour bus passing over the bridge dumped 800 pounds of human waste through the open metal grate bridge deck into the Chicago River. The waste landed on an architecture tour cruise boat and passengers passing under the bridge at that time. References External links Media related to Kinzie Street Bridge at Wikimedia Commons

Temple Sholom

Temple Sholom (formally Temple Sholom of Chicago) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 3480 North Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Founded in 1867, as of 2010 it was one of the oldest and largest congregations in Chicago with over 1,100 member families. Architecture The current building's design began as a 1921 assignment given to three students at the School of Architecture at the Armour Institute, with the assistance of professional architects Charles Hodgson and Charles Allerton Coolidge. The official architects for the Byzantine Revival and Moorish Revival synagogue were Loebl, Schlossman and DeMuth. The western wall of the 1,350-seat sanctuary was mounted on wheels so that it could be moved, opening the room into the adjoining social hall almost doubling the capacity. In 1972, Israeli artist Nehemia Azaz was commissioned to create a set of five stained glass windows representing selections from Job, Proverbs, Psalms, Ezra and Nehemiah. In 1996 Leon Golub was given a commission to design a set of stained glass windows for Temple Sholom in Chicago, the four windows depict the life of Joseph. These would be the only stained glass windows Leon Golub ever did. They were fabricated in New York by Victor Rothman and Gene Mallard. Rabbi Frederick C. Schwartz Library and Mendelson Gallery The Rabbi Frederick C. Schwartz Library holds 6,000 adult books, 2,000 children's books, 300 videos and 30 journals. The Mendelson Gallery exhibits Jewish art.

The Aquitania

The Aquitania is a luxury, 82-unit cooperative apartment building in the Margate Park neighborhood of the Uptown community of Chicago, Illinois. It is officially designated on the National Register of Historic Places by The United States Department of the Interior. The name was likely a nod to the Cunard transatlantic express ocean liner, RMS Aquitania, which entered service in 1914 and was one of the most popular ships on the North Atlantic in the 1920s, sailing until 1949. The Aquitania, known legally as the 5000 North Marine Drive Corporation, was built by Ralph C. Harris and Byron H. Jillson in the Classical Revival style. Its developer was George K. Spoor, the co-founder of Essanay Studios and a producer of silent movies during the first two decades of the 20th century. At that time, Chicago rivaled both New York City and Hollywood in film production, and Spoor was able to use his considerable wealth to plan and develop a property, which he felt was befitting the celebrities connected with Chicago's growing entertainment industry. A legend, which purports that Essanay Studio actors Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson once resided at The Aquitania, is likely unfounded. This probable factual inaccuracy reflects nothing more than film lore since all silent film production left Chicago's Essanay studios for southern California by 1918 at the very latest, and The Aquitania was not built until 1923, although there are historical accounts of both silent-film era stars staying as guests at The Aquitania when it was a hotel in its earliest days. When the Aquitania was built, it was situated directly on the Lake Michigan shore; subsequent development of both Lake Shore Drive and the lakefront park have moved the shore some two blocks east of the building. The fifteen-story building has a courtyard and an Art Moderne lobby. Construction was completed in 1923, and it became a cooperative in 1949.

The Aquitania

The Aquitania (en français : l'Aquitaine) est un immeuble coopératif comprenant des appartements de luxe, situé dans le secteur d'Uptown à Chicago (Illinois). L'immeuble est classé dans le Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 1er mars 2002. L'Aquitania a été construit en 1941 par Ralph C. Harris et Byron H. Jillson dans le style néo-classique. Il a été développé par George K. Spoor, cofondateur de Essanay Studios et producteur de films muets dans les premières décennies du XXe siècle. À cette époque, Chicago rivalisait avec New York et Hollywood dans la production cinématographique, et l'homme d'affaires George K. Spoor a pu utiliser sa considérable richesse pour construire un immeuble avec des appartements de luxe qu'il sentait approprié pour les personnalités liées à l'industrie croissante du divertissement à Chicago. Lorsque l'Aquitania a été construit, il était situé directement sur la rive du lac Michigan, le développement ultérieur de l'autoroute de Lake Shore Drive et d'un parc ont éloigné le bord du lac à une certaine distance de l'Aquitania. Le bâtiment de quinze étages dispose d'une cour et d'un hall de style Art Moderne. La construction a été achevée en 1923 et il est devenu une coopérative en 1949.

Indijanci u Chicagu (Meštrović)

Indijanci u Chicagu (Strijelac i Kopljanik) su dvije brončane konjičke skulpture koje stoje na trgu Congress Plaza na zapadnome ulazu u veliki Grant Park u Chicagu, SAD. Skulpture je u Zagrebu izradio hrvatski kipar Ivan Meštrović, a u Chicagu su postavljene 1928. godine. Izradu skulptura financirala je zaklada Benjamina Fergusona. Visoke su oko pet metara, a s podestom sežu gotovo jedanaest metara uvis. „Meštrovićeve najbolje monumentalne skulpture su njegovi Indijanci u Chicagu; oni nisu previše očito stilizirani: mišići konjanika su gotovo anatomski realni. (...) Ovi kipovi prikazuju koliko su važniji pravi skulpturalni osjećaji od ideologije, a Meštrović jedva da je znao nešto o idealima američkih Indijanaca.” Premda je prvotno htio postaviti po jednu skulpturu kauboja i Indijanca, odlučio se za američke starosjedioce kako bi očuvao uspomenu na indijanska plemena koja su nekoć obitavala u prerijama Illinoisa. Neobičnost kod ovih skulptura je u tome da likovima nedostaje oružje. Izostanak oružja namjeran je jer je umjetnik smatrao kako ih je bolje ostaviti mašti dok se pozornost usmjerava na snažne linije muskulature ljudi i životinja, te linearne uzorke konjskih griva, repa i perjanica na glavama figura. Premda su konji bili više nalik onima iz njegova rodnog kraja nego konjima američkih ratnika iz prerije, Meštrović je njima htio i uspio pokazati životnost Chicaga. Izvori

Чес Рекърдс

„Чес Рекърдс“ (на английски: Chess Records) е американска звукозаписна компания, съществувала от 1947 г. до 1975 г. През 1947 г. братята Ленърд и Фил Чес стават съдружници на Чарлз и Ивлин Арън в „Аристрократ Рекърд Къмпъни“ (Aristocrat Record Company). Братя Чес притежават няколко нощни локала в южната част на Чикаго, като най-големият от тях е Mocamba Lounge. В желанието си да запишат един от певците работещи там, те решават да се включат в звукозаписния бизнес. През 1950 г. те откупуват дела на Арън и променят името на компанията на „Чес Рекърдс“. Братя Чес започват да привличат различни блус-музиканти от Делтата на Мисисипи като Мъди Уотърс, Хаулин Уулф, Съни Бой Уилямсон II, Литъл Уолтър, Бъди Гай и Бо Дидли. Басистът и композитор Уили Диксън присъства неизменно на тези блус-сесии, като допринася и с композициите си (вече станали класически) „I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man“, „Spoonful“ и др. Той участва и развитието на рок енд рола като подпомага оформянето на стила на Чък Бери. Когато ритъм енд блусът започва да навлиза и в пазара на поп-музиката, „Чес Рекърдс“ записват, чрез дъщерната си фирма „Чекър“, вокални групи като „Муунглоуз“ и „Фламингоз“. Те също управляват и издателските къщи „Арк“ и „Джуъл“ чрез Морис Леви. През 1969 г. братята продават фирмата „Чес Рекърдс“ на „Дженерал Рекордет Тейп“ (General Recorded Tape) за 6,5 млн. долара. Легендата разказва, че когато Кийт Ричардс вижда Мик Джагър на железопътната гара в Дартфорд, Кийт заговаря Мик, защото вижда в ръцете му плочата „The Best of Muddy Waters“, издадена от „Чес Рекърдс“.
