The building with the clock is the famous Wrigley Building. The building with the angled, diamond shape top is the Crain Communications Building. Thanks for filming. Miss it being 7K miles away.
I have been to Chicago many times. And the most touristy thing I love to do is take the architectural boat tour! It’s a lot of fun for the money. And you become very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I would highly recommend it.
1979 movie Hunter starring Steve McQueen has a car driving off Marina Tower into the river. Thanks for posting my hometown Chicago and all it's beauty.
I live in Chicago and remember, when returning home from visiting my sister in Phoenix in November and about to land, a flight attendant saying Chicago just looks grey. He was absolutely right. We make a point of visiting sunny Orlando in November every year!
The gap along the sidewalk, or crack as you described it is an expansion joint. Most of downtown Chicago has multiple street levels, the entire city was raised up in the late 1900's, buildings and everything, to build sewers and to lift the downtown area far enough above the river to avoid flooding. The expansion joint is there to allow the elevated structures to flex a little when temperatures fluctuant up and down.
The story of the reversal of the flow of the Chicago River is very interesting. Also, the Eastland disaster on that river. Dave Matthew's bus dropped a load of waste through the grates on one of the bridges and it fell onto a tour boat. My godfather lived in one of Marina Towers, the circular corn cob buildings. April 23 marks 20 years since Wilco released Yankee Hotel Foxtrot featuring Marina Towers on the cover.
Thank you for the Chicago videos Adam. My eldest child lives in Chicago and I've not been to visit since before the pandemic. However, I do have a trip planned for next month. Also thank you for my pins and stickers! Very generous of you to send them to so many people for free. Take care.
I might add, the Chicago Tribune tower has rocks from all over the world cemented in the face of the building (I think they're on the lower floors if I remember right) :)
That’s beautiful and interesting city ever. It has so much character and so many interesting buildings and the architect is beautiful! It is really amazing to see. Thank you guys so much for sharing this video with us
The Orange lines over the nuts on the Ferris Wheel is anti-Sabotage compound-it's lets you know if the nut is coming loose-it will be displaced....not rust-although, between the nuts, there are cracks...
HEY ATW... TODAY'S EPISODE WAS SO COOL, SO FUN, SO HECK'N CRAZY!! What a super fun time you guys were having! This whole Chicago trip has been GREAT! It feels like you took us all on vacation!
Thank You Adam! Wanted to say thanks to you - I received my stickers and buttons today - As busy as you are, you took the time to complete the task. Really liking your road trip this week and looking forward to your adventures in a couple of weeks. Take care!
Vegas is the largest and Icon Park is number 2. Chicago is in-between Smokey Mountain wheel in Pigeon forge and Myrtle Beach SC at number 5. Texas is #3
Beautiful skyline of Chicago. Always enjoy your fun times with friends. Looked cold up there in that Ferris wheel. You know what Woo says “stomp your feet”. Lol. Thanks for sharing👍
I just Love Watching your videos Adam! Adam and Friends! I hope that your Easter Sunday was a Good one. I am sending Good Wishes to ALL of you and your Families. Stay Safe God Bless from Tammy in PA
Great video Adam. I haven't been to Chicago in many years, not since my days in the Navy and boot camp. My wife and I love your videos and can't wait to see what you post each day. Keep up the great content!
*The Chicago Centennial Wheel is 200 ft tall. It's also the tallest Ferris Wheel on a Pier. LOL! The tallest Ferris Wheel in the US is the "High Roller" Ferris Wheel at 550 ft tall. It's the 2nd tallest Ferris Wheel in the world and the tallest in the Americas. (The London Eye is 443 ft in comparison) Chicago is also the birthplace of the very first-ever "official" Ferris Wheel. It was also the first mega-sized Ferris Wheel at a whopping 264 ft. (It also featured the first Thomas Eddison Light Bulbs as the Wheel was built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition)* *Yes, Chicago had it first. Also, the Ferris Wheel in Branson Missouri was the former Navy Pier Wheel. It's 150 ft tall. So the current Chicago Centennial wheel is taller and climate-controlled, unlike the Branson Wheel.* 🎡 *Chicago by the way is also the railroad capital of North America. All tracks in the continent lead to Chicago. Chicago is the center of the world's largest railroad network.* 🚂 😎
The Architecture Boat tour was amazing and insightful when I visited Chicago. We had a great tour guide. Learned so much about the beauty of the buildings. Add that to your list of things to do some time.
Hi there Adam the Woo. What a fun vlog. Loved joining you fellas. Love Chicago. Alot of history there. We have fun in the suburbs of Chicago. We have not been in years. We usual go at Christmas time. Might try 2 go this year. We are over due. It is really beautiful during Christmas. Love that skit from SNL. We have been 2 the Billy Goats by Navy Pier in the past. Thank you again for letting us join you. Hope you had a nice Easter.💕
They mean peddling as in panhandling, selling things without a permit on the street. Or offering pedicab rides to people. There's lots of that in the summer when it's more comfortable to jump in strangers hatchback tricycle.
The architectural tour on the river is awesome! Highly recommend. Also there is a water taxi you can take from anywhere around Union Station all the way out to the Navy Pier.
I love Brookfield Zoo and I always got one of those molds every time I went as a kid. Always loved they were warm when they came out and smelled so good. 😍💖🐴🐄🦁🦓🐏🐈🐶🦍🐒🦍🐵🐯🐂🐼🐻🐧🦒🐪🐫🐐🐑🐘🦏🦈🦅🕊🐢💖
Blessings .. hope you had a blessed Resurrection Sunday! ✝️ Looks like a fun time, but cold. It’s rainy in lower Alabama. Again, blessings and stay safe in the Windy City!😀 Love seeing the train going around above.. very cool!
Adam don't know if anyone pointed this out . The two circular buildings that have a parking garage that encompasses about one third of each building is called The Marina City Towers. It has several restaurants , a bowling alley, hotel and The House of Blues Chicago.
Chicago is such a beautiful city. I've only visited once and it was in the dead of winter and far from toasty. I'd love to go back during the warmer months so I could explore a bit more comfortably. Until then, I shall join your adventures.
The home office of my former employer was located near to those round towers.... It was cool to see a number of buildings and locales that I could readily recognize! I had been in the lower level Billy Goat tavern. It definitely had a blast from the past feel.
It is always cool to see you guys having fun. I especially liked the Ferris Wheel ride. It is very fitting that Chicago still has a Ferris wheel. The worlds first Ferris wheel was unveiled at the Chicago worlds fair of 1893. It was also called The World's Columbian Exposition and marked the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival to North America in 1492.
Adam!!! Adam!!!!!!! Adam!!!!!! Sooo sorry you had such horrible weather in out beautiful city. Thought I saw you at the Sox game on Sat but didn't want to bother you. Hopefully you can make a trip back when it's warm! Oddly enough it's going to be almost 80⁰ this coming weekend. Thanks for what you do. Appreciate your videos. Been a subscriber since back in the Van days. Bad weather isn't fun. Next time. Much better for you!
I saw you at the white Sox game yesterday. I’m not sure if you saw me but when you and your friend were in line waiting for the gates to open I had my baseball glove on my head . Not sure if you seen that but it was cool to see you I recognized you instantly
You were right at my sister's bldg! The one behind the 'no pedicabs' sign.. Can't believe she lives in that giant shiny bldg! This is a blast, seeing you in her neighborhood!
I remember being in school at the Naval Base outside Chicago. We would catch the train outside the back gate .We would stop at every town between Great Lakes Naval Station and Chicago, and have a rum drink. Arriving in Chicago, half tipsy, and wandering around Chicago. We stayed at the Playboy Hotel. That was 1977. Love Chicago!! 🥰
I love Chicago so much! Thank you for making me feel like I was right there with you! Wish you would have had at least a few shots from the game because the Rays were on fire yesterday!!🔥 That being said- I’m also glad that you got to just take it all in without having to work. I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying these vlogs!!! If you’ve never been to Wrigley Field before…buckle up. Watching a game in an old park like that with so much history just hits different. I’m going to be stalking TH-cam all morning tomorrow for that upload!! Have fun at the game today Adam! Rays Up!!!!!
Is he going to Wrigley? This is so cool - in the 1960's my gramma used to pack me and my brother and cousin up on the train from LaSalle (about 100 miles away) and we used to go to the games at Comiskey and Wrigley. We used to also make an annual trip to Chicago at Christmas for the Ice Follies out at the Armory. FUNNY story - so the follies was created by the Shipstads. Eddie and Roy... so Roy Shipstad was my husband's god father and good friends (obviously) with my father-in-law. Also Chicago tales of gramma and her watching Roller Derby on Saturday nights when my parents went to Chicago for a show. I remember her vividly yelling at the derby on TV - "that God-d*&)& Eddie Krebbs!" Eddie was a Derby STAR in the 60's-70's and a notorious cranky bad guy. So 2010, I'm in a bar in Castro Valley, CA, and who is sitting next to me chatting me up but Mr. Eddie Krebbs. I ghost wrote a book about derby for him for his grandkids, and got to meet ALL the derby folks and the stars and even Jerry Seltzer, who was Leo - the founders- son. They also started their shows in the Armory etc... and yep - they all knew my father-in-law, who was the Chief Steward on the Matson Great White Ships in the 40's-70's. Crazy stories. They all knew each other. I knew none of them and they ALL came by way of this weird memory of my gramma cartin us kids up to Chicago on the train. And where did all this happen, you may wonder? Why in San Francisco, of course. And after leaving Illinois in 1966, I grew up in Florida very near to where Adam lives. I worked as a character at Disney my very first job. I feel like I know Adam because we travel the same routes - it's amazing I've never run into him! LOL! You absolutely never know who you're going to meet. I think that's why I love Adam's channel so much. He knows. It's almost NEVER what you think it will be and if you have the humor to both see it and laugh about it, it's life's divine comedy.
@@smspirate I would pretty much bet money that he planned this trip so he could get in games at both Guaranteed Rate and Wrigley, since the Cubs Rays series starts tonight.
I was born and raised in Wrigleyville and worked at navy pier for a couple years in my late 20s. We used to ride bikes bikes to navy pier before it was made so nice! It has really changed over the years! I left Chicago 10 years ago and rarely visit! Thanks for ride! Be safe it's definitely not what it used to be in Chicago!
@@donnamcduffie8457 yup, big rocks everywhere and dirt, kinda looked like a big dump! Many of late night rides down there on my motorcycle with girlfriend's! Lol. Good time's cruising down LSD. I'm long gone from Chicago, I was born and raised there in Lakeview/ Wrigleyville. 41 years I stayed in the area. It's definitely not the city I grew up in!!!
Awesome video Adam! A video idea since you are in Chicago would be a filming location video. I am a longtime fan of Knight Rider, & would love to see the filming locations of the epic season 4 episode " Knight of the Juggernaut". That episode was mostly filmed in Chicago. Keep up the good work Adam!👍 Hello from Phoenix Arizona!🔥
There are many boat tour companies on the Chicago River, so some may have still been running that late. If you take one, and I highly recommend you do, take the Chicago Architecture Center tour. They are a non-profit and have excellent docents who do the tours. It gives you a great perspective on the years of different architecture in the city from a vantage point you can only get from the water. Don't let this little dusting of snow this morning slow you down. Going to be 80 degrees on Saturday here! Can't wait to see you at Wrigley. Go explore around the neighborhood there, lots more to see than at the Sox games. Great weekend vlog guys, thanks.
The water taxis are great ways to get around! Every time I'm on a layover at Union Station I cross the street to the Taxi and go out to the Pier to have some fun. Yep the architectural tour is wonderful!
White Sox still took the series! 👍 Also, very brave roaming Downtown……especially lower Wacker in this day & age, it used to be nice but not anymore and I live here and I wouldn’t go Downtown for all the tea in China. 😳
The architecture in Chicago is so gorgeous.
The building with the clock is the famous Wrigley Building. The building with the angled, diamond shape top is the Crain Communications Building. Thanks for filming. Miss it being 7K miles away.
I have been to Chicago many times. And the most touristy thing I love to do is take the architectural boat tour! It’s a lot of fun for the money. And you become very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I would highly recommend it.
I love when Adam do small towns but also love and it's refreshing to see him in big cities as well. Thx 4 video
Enjoy it while it lasts. I fear retirement is coming soon. Adam wants to settle down, enjoy life without constantly filming everything.
1979 movie Hunter starring Steve McQueen has a car driving off Marina Tower into the river. Thanks for posting my hometown Chicago and all it's beauty.
I love his voice😆😌✌️
If Chicago sky’s are blue and not grey, you know it’s gonna be a good day!
I live in Chicago and remember, when returning home from visiting my sister in Phoenix in November and about to land, a flight attendant saying Chicago just looks grey. He was absolutely right. We make a point of visiting sunny Orlando in November every year!
Highly recommend the architectural boat tour. It’s really good

One of the engineers was Jefferson Davis
The best view of the city is from the Hancock Building. That is my favorite building and view in the city!!
Very beautiful city
Caffeine of the warm persuasion! Love it!
Adam is the Dark Knight.
Got my stickers and pins yesterday, thank you! What an undertaking.
It has been but getting em out slowly but surely
@@TheDailyWoo You rock, brother!
You know it's gonna be a good day when ATW wanders around at night! Great vlog as usual

You are correct. Right where the WGN radio Show Case studio used to be.
I grew up in the suburbs of NYC on Long Island and I am loving the big city vlogs. Thanks Adam.
Such a beautiful inner city. Thanks for this Adam! ❤️
That’s beautiful and interesting city ever. It has so much character and so many interesting buildings and the architect is beautiful! It is really amazing to see. Thank you guys so much for sharing this video with us
I want to thank you for city tours like this. This is much appreciated ! Looking forward to seeing more of central Florida and your next road trip.

This was great, Adam. It brings back memories. LOVE the night views...🌆
👏🤠
Being in the city makes me feel so small 😁👍👍
Shows like Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, and The Hogan Family made me want to move to Chicago so bad when I was a kid lol.
I just Love Watching your videos Adam! Adam and Friends! I hope that your Easter Sunday was a Good one. I am sending Good Wishes to ALL of you and your Families. Stay Safe God Bless from Tammy in PA

What she said Adam.
Yes! I laughed at that part!😂
Came here to say this! What you were thinking of, Adam, was pedaling. :)
I'm happy the Rays gave you guys a good win! Thank you very much for an amazing vlog!
The billy goat brings back memories. Haven't been there in 15 years

Enjoyed the Ferris Wheel ride.

Thanks for some views of my home state
You go places I would certainly not go (alone) Thanks x
The architectural tour on the river is awesome! Highly recommend. Also there is a water taxi you can take from anywhere around Union Station all the way out to the Navy Pier.
Thanks Adam for the tour. I have been to Chicago. Enjoy yourself Adam Relax.
That's awesome Adam, carry on. GO!
'Enjoy the moment before you' Could not have said it better
If you are still in Illinois check out the Brookfield Zoo which has those cool Mold-O-Rama's machines!
I love Brookfield Zoo and I always got one of those molds every time I went as a kid. Always loved they were warm when they came out and smelled so good. 😍💖🐴🐄🦁🦓🐏🐈🐶🦍🐒🦍🐵🐯🐂🐼🐻🐧🦒🐪🐫🐐🐑🐘🦏🦈🦅🕊🐢💖
YES! They still have those?! I loved them as a kid!
In Chicago ....what was built first...the Buildings or the trains. It's so Unique how they intertwine between the buildings 🌺🧡
Just awesome!!!
Blessings .. hope you had a blessed Resurrection Sunday! ✝️ Looks like a fun time, but cold. It’s rainy in lower Alabama. Again, blessings and stay safe in the Windy City!😀 Love seeing the train going around above.. very cool!

Awesome vlog A.T.W. and Friends.
Happy Easter 🐰🐇
A beautiful city…..we need a filming locations video for The Fugitive.
You were right at my sister's bldg! The one behind the 'no pedicabs' sign.. Can't believe she lives in that giant shiny bldg! This is a blast, seeing you in her neighborhood!
The boats that you saw going up the Chicago River are tour boats that take people on the Chicago architecture tour. That's a great tour to take.
The John Hancock building in your closing shot. (Really tall building with the two lit up spires) is where Chris Farley passed away.
I remember being in school at the Naval Base outside Chicago. We would catch the train outside the back gate .We would stop at every town between Great Lakes Naval Station and Chicago, and have a rum drink. Arriving in Chicago, half tipsy, and wandering around Chicago. We stayed at the Playboy Hotel. That was 1977. Love Chicago!! 🥰
Looks Awesome!
Happy Easter Adam 🐰🐣🐰
When I lived in Livertyville Illinois we would go into Chicago and go shopping we loved going to Watertower Place a high rise mall.
Fun Chicago Vlog, Adam. That's the Chicago way 🙂

So now we know why the northern MLB fans love going to spring training in AZ and FL!
Right before those stairs by the AMC, there was a courtyard with a giant clock. They removed the hands but there are giant cement numbers.
The setting to one of the greatest cinematic stories of all time, The Blues Brothers. I’m hoping for an ATW filming location vlog some day.
Yes!

Enjoy Wrigley Field Adam and the boys. And just when you are leaving town we are going to be almost 80 next weekend
I am from Chicago but I am a Cubs fan so I am glad the Rays won. Plus I have been a Rays fan since their debut as well.
