Skyline Views - Chicago 4K - Driving Downtown

Morning drive through downtown Chicago along Lake Shore Boulevard and Michigan Avenue before heading to Chicago's main airport O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Almost missed my flight because I wanted to see this spectacular skyline one more time before leaving. 10/10 would recommend.
Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/j8q3WJWcJnXkvZeD8 .
Chicago, on Lake Michigan in Illinois, is among the largest cities in the U.S. Famed for its bold architecture, it has a skyline punctuated by skyscrapers such as the iconic John Hancock Center, 1,451-ft. Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower. The city is also renowned for its museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago with its noted Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. ― Google

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third most populous city in the United States, following New York City and Los Angeles. With a population of 2,746,388 in the 2020 census, it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States and the fifth most populous city in North America. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the U.S., while a small portion of the city's O'Hare Airport also extends into DuPage County. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, defined as either the U.S. Census Bureau's metropolitan statistical area (9.6 million people) or the combined statistical area (almost 10 million residents), often called Chicagoland. It is one of the 40 largest urban areas in the world.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is part of the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked among the world's top six busiest airports according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. The economy of Chicago is diverse, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. It is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, JLL, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, US Foods, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million tourist visitors in 2018 set a new record, and Chicago has been voted the best large city in the U.S. for four years in a row by Condé Nast Traveler. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global urban quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities, and was rated second most beautiful city in the world (after Prague) in 2021. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago is also home to the Barack Obama Presidential Center being built in Hyde Park on the city's South Side. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.

I want to move to the U.S. and have been considering NYC as an option for a very long time. Suddenly, I thought of Chicago for some reason and wanted to see what it looks like. It almost feels like NYC, but with less people, more organized and way cleaner. I might start considering Chicago as my first option now...

This is the perfect day and time to go to this airport because the highway he just traveled is always jammed pack, all the way from downtown, great video.

[@jutah]

Took me about 1h20m to get from ORD to downtown along this same route when I flew in on a recent weekday night...you're right about that!

[@millvee1005]

@@jutah I know I live here😂👍

[@justdrive5327]

Right. There's no more rush hour it seems. It more like Calm Hour/Luck Hour or Rush Hour timeout. Traffic strarts building around 7am and hits its peak around 8am, still is bad until 9am, then starts dieing off. 11am is calm then 12pm and 1pm it backs up again. 2pm is calm hour then at 3pm it starts getting bad again and peaks around 5pm stays bad till around 7 or 8pm then starts dieing off. Years ago after 7pm you were free. Now that's not the case anymore. Then you have rush hour overtime on inbound i90 Kennedy Expressway near Downtown and Inbound Dan Ryan near the circle interchange. Those can stay bad until 11pm sometimes even 12am. Especially on inbound i90 on weekends near downtown. Saturday traffic is similar but morning rush starts maybe half an hour to an hour later. On Sundays there's typically no morning rush. The morning rush starts even later than Saturday's so around 12pm 1pm the traffic gets gridlocked again and then you have afternoon and late night. I speak from experience. Lifelong Chicagoan and i just came back from i90 Kennedy Expressway. Inbound was a parking lot at 10pm near downtown. Very common nowadays

One of the best cities for driving. The only one with a commuter train going down the middle of two different expressways. Lake Shore drive speaks for itself. I was hoping the driver was going to go underneath the old main post office to get on the Eisenhower, did that a lot as a kid. It was a unique way to leave the downtown area and hop on the expressway. Great video!👍

Chicago looks intimidating compared to Green Bay. Hopefully, I won't be doing much driving once I get here, Coming for a show in Naperville then heading back the next day. There is a parking lot for the show which is nice and the hotel has parking awesome! I'll use buses and Metro as much as possible!
