Chicago has evolved quite a bit since the gangster days of the 20's when Capone and his ruthless cronies littered the streets with crime. Decades of innovative design and structural renovations have established Chicago as an architectural masterpiece. The city, rich with culture and abounding with artistic sophistication, is often referred to as the "last great American city." Well-renowned for historic attractions such as Wrigley Field, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum of Natural History; impressive structures like the Sears Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright's house and Millennium Park's newest addition - the Cloud Gate; and one of the best theatre districts in the world.
