Chicago Downtown Street Walking

It's interesting to see so many people walking around when your in the city. This is sped up footage from a recent trip downtown Chicago with friends and family from out of town. I also created the music.

people walk in Chicago?

i am from Georgia and no one walks here.

[TheMindForest]

@BabyGirlGoddess Chicago and New York have a lot of people on foot downtown.. New York probably has more, but I have only been there a few times and do not know for sure. Chicago has also been adding in bike lanes to many streets to promote more bicycling, however, they do not do nearly enough to make sure bicyclists are following the rules of the road, or understand the rules they are supposed to follow.

Stores stores and more stores ! What else can you do there besides spending money on shopping ? By the way video and music rocks !

[TheMindForest]

@mutombe Thanks! I worked hard on that music.. :) Downtown has lots of stores. There is a vibrant nightlife of course if your into that sort of thing as well. I don't do the nightlife scene myself too much, so for everyone else like me there is just the same stuff to do as anywhere else. There are a few museums that are fun, aquarium, planetarium, zoo's. There are also some good performing art theatres, tons of band venues all around the city. I don't get out much though. lol.

I am from NYC, but I would have to say that Chicago is the only ciy that can stand in front of New York City with honor

[MPfeifer716]

I can't tell you how much i agree with you. I go to OU now, but I'm from Chicago. OKC really can't stand next to Chicago.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

@TLJAWSIMIB

Lol. Atlanta does suck. I am counting down the days I can move out of this hellhole.

[TLJAWSIMIB]

@undergroundhousecom Thanks!

@almalik2012 I know a lot of folks who get driven nuts by the cold month in Chicago. I guess I am lucky since it usually doesn't bother me too much. I just hate not being able to get places easier because of the snow and ice.

[TheMindForest]

@hopatease1 I sped up the video a little bit, because normal speed is sometimes boring. :)

[TheMindForest]

@wompasdub I have no idea where that is.. It is some kind of lobby though. lol. Sorry I can't be more help!

[TheMindForest]

@Valtteri2 Thanks, that was a nice comment! The city is really nice in October usually when all the color is in the leaves. :) Glad you had a good time..

[Valtteri2]

A really nice video, thank you=) I'm happy you like Chicago too, i don't live there and I've only visited once but the time i spent there was wonderful, i think chicago is a magical place I really really loved it when I visited in October three years ago, it is such a fun and colourful city and the autumn Sun was shining nicely in chicago every day when i visited, it was a really great trip and the best week of my 19

years of life so far =)

[Valtteri2]

@emperor0989 both magical cities =)

@fanofzimmertwins

yeah i live in georgia.

i've lived in the metro atlanta part and i've lived in the beach part.

[fanofzimmertwins]

@BabyGirlGoddess Some areas of the City named Chicago are crowded and some are empty. You live in Georgia? My family mght move there because my mom wants to

[wompasdub]

@Izakokomarixyz Be sure to come back here and brag some more when all those condos are sitting empty like trump tower

[wompasdub]

Where are you at :15? that place doesn't look familiar to me

[Izakokomarixyz]

@ps3or360idontknow Well Idk where the fuck you got your info from but the WILLIS tower (I know you guys hate that name haha) is like the seventh tallest right now (antennae are not included)... Don't worry we will catch up to you guys in no time, because unlike your city that have stopped building, NYC still has A LOT of constructing to do (New supertalls in the west side area in manhattan are expected to be very tall)

[ps3or360idontknow]

@Izakokomarixyz more of the worlds tallest buildings are in chicago, than there are in new york.. and the sears tower is the 5th tallest building in the world, freestanding and the 5th tallest with the antennae. while your little empire state building is 12th.

[Izakokomarixyz]

@ps3or360idontknow Wtf are you talking about? None of the 6 tallest in the world are in Chicago...

[ps3or360idontknow]

@Izakokomarixyz 4 of the 6 tallest buildings in the world are in chicago. GET OVER IT!

[ps3or360idontknow]

@Izakokomarixyz chicago is called the second city because it rebuilt itself after the great chicago fire, therefore making it "the second chicago" or second city.

[Izakokomarixyz]

@TickleMeElmo55 How can I not downplay chicagos projects, you're comparing mid rise and high rise condo projects in chicago with SUPERTALL SKYSCRAPER projects in NYC... face it... you lost...

And yes, NYC is the greatest city in the universe... :)

[TickleMeElmo55]

@Izakokomarixyz

SInce when did clutter become better? Since when did taller become better? Now unless those supertalls you've mentioned are actually completed then you can talk. Don't downplay other cities projects to elevate whatever building NYC has because that's just puss talking.

"I LOVE NY! It's the BEST CITY IN THE UNIVERSE! :)"

LOL. Don't fool yourself. Such insecurity.

[Izakokomarixyz]

@TickleMeElmo55 Lol most of those aren't even close to skyscraper height and none are supertalls... I'd give you a list of condos being built in NY but there are too many to list lol.... Heck we're still building bridges, tunnels (new train lines), parks, etc. It's great to live in a city that is always changing for the better, I LOVE NY! It's the BEST CITY IN THE UNIVERSE! :)
