Murph Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You hear a lot of bad press about Chicago, but hear me now, and remember me later...... The Blackhawks are back on top. The Cubs are favorites to win the World Series and the season hasn't even STARTED........ In 2014, Chicago had 50.2 million international and domestic visitors. Chicago has the third largest gross metropolitan product in the United States. Chicago is a major world financial center, with the second largest central business district in the United States. The Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, has nearly 10 million people and is the third-largest in the U.S Some of the United States' tallest towers are located in Chicago; Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) is the second tallest building in the Western Hemisphere after One World Trade Center, and Trump International Hotel and Tower is the third tallest in the country. Oh yea, and there's this........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I like the story of when the Blackhawks' owner's son roadied for Ministry at literally minimum wage, a job that apparently mainly consisted of "calling my wife and saying, I poked him and he's breathing". Must be a pretty big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Pretty cool Murph. I'm a Boston guy but Chicago is the greatest city for the type of music I like. Most of my Blues guitar heroes honed their chops and developed their careers there.Thanks for the 25 or 6 to 4 video. I hadn't seen that one. I'm aways amazed at how much better the videos of today are. You have Terry Kath ripping through a 3 minute solo and we get to watch the drummer keeping time. Same for Santana in the Woodstock movie. Nowadays they at least know to show the Guitar Player during the Guitar Solo. Chicago at Boston Garden was the first rock concert I went to, 1974 I think. As a trumpet player who became a guitarist, they always clicked with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
