Description: They call Chicago "the city that works," and it has worked its wonderful influence on cities everywhere. Nothing in the world, however, compares the original. The elements that go to make Chicago a city envied the world over are captured in this unique collection of color photographs. The lakefront, the Sears Tower, and the Miracle Mile of Michigan Avenue are just some of the famous city sites to be found in these pages. The photographs capture the spirit of the city-the neighborhoods that make it as livable as it is beautiful, its parks and boulevards, its cultural institutions and its great commercial enterprises. The people who make the city work are here, too. Their face reflect nearly every culture in the world, and together they help explain why this plain between Lake Michigan and the prairie has been known for generations as the most American of cities. Chicago was built to create an impression and, as this photographic tour reveals, it never fails to impress.
