Chicago 4K - Night Drive - Driving Downtown

[@jmarcguy]

My mother passed away recently. I used to show her your videos and we’d watch them on the tv. She absolutely loved them!!! We never got to travel as much as we’d like unfortunately so this was as close as we got to these locations. Thank you.

[@rei2805]

may her soul rest in peace,thanks for sharing amazing story ❤️

[@basfinnis]

That's lovely that she enjoyed them 😘

[@katpyss]

My condolences for your mother. May she Rest In Peace. I watch these videos with my father for the same reason. If we can’t physically be in these locations, then watching on a high definition tv is a nice alternative.

The people are nice, generous and hospitable, food is awesome, traffic is not extremely bad until 290, 90 and 94 interstate, night life is great, massive buildings and lots of history. Didn't know a Haitian named DuSable was the first settler or founder of Chicago. Very rich culture and diverse place. Thank you people of Chicago for a great experience!

Chicago is so much better than New York. New York's streets are dirty and the streets (unless they're highways) are only 1 laners. While here in Chicago, the whole downtown area looks modern. The streets are nice and big, the street signs are clean of graffiti, and you got nice stores like Gucci right there in the streets. The city preserves a lot of trees in Chicago; they're even kind enough to light some of them up for tourists. Beautiful city. Love it here.

Ahh how I miss driving around Chicago in the middle of the night.

[@justdrive5327]

Jay, It's something related to the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. Nothing is happening. Cpd routinely turns on their lights to make people obey traffic rules. Studies have shown that blue lights also calm people, which means less reckless driving. So them driving or siting on the median with their lights on is normal. The cops when they turn on their siren and swerve like that its to clear an intersection. Michigan Avenue can get crowded to the point cars sit in the middle of the intersection and block the green light for the other cars and pedestrians. That's their way of making cars move to clear the path Also this looked like it was before the Lights Festival since the trees on Michigan Avenue aren't lit. They did it until they eventually closed the street. Yes the cops seem to bully but its Cpd. Also Chicago has more cops per square mile than any city in America. Around 47 per sqaure mile to LA's 16. So seeing them stick together in groups of two or three sqauds without any emergency isn't uncommon. I've seen it a couple times

[@justdrive5327]

Even though they seem more aggressive than your average city, I'm sure they didn't give out many tickets
