Like many places that experience extreme winters, summer in Chicago is one huge celebration. Having endured months of cold and darkness, people shed their layers and head out into the beautiful city that’s usually too cold to see. After months of hibernation the city wakes up, and everyone remembers why Chitown (pronounced “shy-town”) is one of the greatest American cities.
