I can't help wishing that big traffic-filled road didn't run right along the lakeshore. That lovely strip of land would be so much lovelier without car noise and exhaust fumes.
What a fantastic series. I'm glad I'm not too far away from this gem of a city. Can't wait to visit again. If only we'd get high-speed rail between KC, STL, and Chicago.
This was a great series! As a current Chicago resident who has an undeniable love for this city, this was a great series to watch! While Chicago has had some rough patches, I truly believe that Frank Lloyd Wrights quote of "Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world" reigns true. Love my city
Great end to the series. I am a Chicago transplant living in Pittsburgh so I am looking forward to the next video! I see many striking parallels between the two great cities
A fantastic presentation that makes one appreciate the thought, effort and care that went into developing the green spaces and public infrastructure spread out among this world-class city!
Besides removing the literal highway going through the lake shore, I wish the planners hadn't made the tree in Grant Park so perfectly separated from each other. It feels not as much like nature compared to say Golden Gate Park in SF.
Great series! Love that you mentioned the prairie preserves! However, a major point of criticism for me is that still too much of the lakefront area is destroyed by the highway that cuts off so many Chicagoans from their greatest asset.
This is okay if you're not local. But there's so much more that we learned growing up. Literally learned about all this in the 80's. I would like a local like myself to tell these stories. It would feel more genuine and authentic. This is more like a Wikipedia read.
I don’t think that Chicago has the “best” park system in America. Many cities have great parks. I would imagine that cities with green belts are pretty great too. Seattle has the most beautiful parks that I’ve seen.
Y'all see green for nice parks. I see green and more spaces for affordable housing or housing in general I'm going to guess that once you have your place, then the nice green parks become priority over other citizens in the future looking for an affordable first home.
Many of Chicago’s neighborhoods have an abundance of low density housing like single family homes and two-flats. Those should be densified with missing middle housing so that everyone can enjoy the park spaces.
Too much Faux news. Take a look at St.louis MO R) Memphis TN, New Orleans LA, Jackson MS,.... that's a lot of states that have way worse crime and are absolute **it holes, and in Conservative states.😂
It isn't. There are only like a few square miles on the south and west sides that are no-go areas, but otherwise it's a basically a non-issue. How many people do you hear about getting killed who don't live in those areas? Most of the deaths are gang members killing other gang members.
The crime is not bad. Chicago is a very safe city, with a handful of problems areas that are dangerous. Most tourists or even residents never go to that dangerous areas.

That's why the road is so beautiful - It runs along the lake. It was just ranked one of the best roads in the world.
@@michaelstovall23Yeah I don’t get how they continue to not appreciate the beautiful placement of LSD. I would NEVER change it
Totally agree - sure, drivers get to enjoy a view, but everyone else suffers. Symptom of a larger issue (cars > people)

Chicago, a world class city with so much potential

This is one of the things I miss the most about Chicago I used to ride my bike or rollerblade down to museum park and back every day in the summer

Great job on this video bro, keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Oo another "City in a Garden" is Bengaluru in India. It would be so cool if you made a video about it, and it's IT boom.
very cool to learn so much about a city, thanks for this series :)

I’ve always loved, more than any US city, the planning and architecture that Chicago has.
I was going to suggest Pittsburgh but thought it was a little too small for you! I'm so stoked to see that video.
Yes, I’m stoked you’re looking forward to it!

Learned so much from this series. Cheers from Norway.
Jubel!
God I love this series so much! Thank you
Thanks for all your support, Tacos!
Just loving this love letter to a city that was my home for so long.
Beautiful, beautiful city.
Need 4k
Thank you. Very professional. Enjoyed all four parts.
Probably the most beautiful city in the US if not for the crime rate.
Great series! Love that you mentioned the prairie preserves! However, a major point of criticism for me is that still too much of the lakefront area is destroyed by the highway that cuts off so many Chicagoans from their greatest asset.
Love chicago ❤
Please do Lagos soon
Well, Meigs Field still exists in Flight Simulator :-)
Lol
Occupied 24/7 😂

Daley should have been thrown in prison for illegally and recklessly destroying meigs field.

Looks very safe from the drone perspective
its really nice during the day
