From Bridgeport, you can reach the «loop», the skytrain of the city center. When you approach the business district, the landscape turns vertically. The light glitters on the thousands of windows and the sky appears like thin blue ribbons between the buildings. The horizon looks like a graph showing the results of the last quarter.

In this forest builded by six generations of workers, you can find old stones reminding Europe, century-old skyscrapers decorated with mozaïques and wrought iron, or contemporary sleek and reflective towers. If Forrest Gump was an architect, downtown Chicago would be for sure his box of chocolates.
