One last dispatch from Chicago: I already mentioned how Chicago decorates early for the holidays and detailed the city's holiday lights parade. So to wrap things up, I thought I would post some pictures of the many decorations I saw.
Chicago does a great job of decorating. Nearly every tree downtown is covered in lights, including those on Michigan Avenue. The city is also covered in wreathes and bows- on buildings, bridges, and streets.
Inside buildings and malls are elaborate trees and decorations. The Macys (formerly the Marshall Fields) has intricate window displays.
I visited too early, but closer to Christmas, the city also hosts a Christmas market on Daley Plaza. The Plaza also has a Christmas tree, but I was told by city natives that this tree is much smaller and less decorated than trees in years past.
So overall, Chicago is a great place to get in the Christmas season. Just make sure to bundle up- it gets COLD!
