Chicago is near Detroit, the Motor City of the United States.

Chicago is known for its ethnic diversity and lively culture.

Chicago is the only city where a number of railroad lines met.

Chicago’s location on Lake Michigan and the middle of the country allowed goods to be shipped out of the city after they arrived by railroad.
