I’ve never heard anyone say the great state of Illinois 😂

[@APLaurenson]

Luis thank you for setting a good example and calling it "Sears Tower" not "Willis". Credibility = 100

[@LuisGustoChicago]

#SearsTowerForever

[@ChiZillaaa]

Can i ask you why people call it Willis?? I'm from New Orleans and your comment had me curious

[@-.TS.-]

@@ChiZillaaa Sears went bankrupt and Willis took over the building naming rights. True Chicagoans still call the building Sears tower.

Hey bro, as someone who majored in history I truly appreciated you including the history lesson. Didn't expect to see it in the guide since usually people get straight into the stuff to do. Keep doing your thing!

[@bigworm3886]

Gusto your single handedly putting Chicago on the map

Pretty sure it was already on most maps, but Luis is killing it with these awesome videos. Keep up the great work

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

I was born in 1950 in Chicago, raised and worked there my whole life and just recently retired and moved. You were spot on with SEARS Tower and it was Marshal Fields (I hated when they sold to Macys). Also, Chicago was known for their THIN crust pizza with square cut pieces way before deep dish was invented. I used those underground pedways during our 'brisk' winters. You did an amazing job talking about our city, thank you.

[@Die.Ractor091]

Hi, I have been wanting to ask this to someone like you who have lived chicago for long. is Chicago what media says it to be? is it full of crimes as people say? TIA

[@MSportsEngineering]

Make sure to watch his other vids where he points out where the LOCALS go. That's the true Chicago experience.

[@slw0599]

Just watched your tourist trap video, which was good....as we're coming to Chicago next April from the UK... inevitably we will do the touristy things as we've never been before, but I liked your tip about the pizza's as I'm not too keen on deep pan which is a staple dish here, so I'd much prefer a thin base, where do you recommend I go? And also how far is des planes as I'd like to visit the breakfast club "school" which is now a police station and is it worth the visit?.... keeps up the great work with these helpful vids👍

[@catelynrodenbiker4323]

Traveling to Chicago today, super excited to have seen this video at the right time.
