Chicago is the third largest city in the United
States. Over three million people live in the two hundred and
twenty five mile area of Chicago.
The world's first skyscraper was constructed in
Chicago in 1885. Today, some of the world's tallest and most famous
skyscrapers are found in the city. Located in the heart of the
city is the one hundred and ten story Sears Tower, which is among
the most famous skyscrapers ever built.
Chicago is often called "The Windy City". It is

11 major U.S. cities outranked Chicago for average annual wind
speed.
