From Learning English, welcome to This Is America. Im Steve Ember. Today, we visit Chicago, Illinois. It is Americas third largest city. It has The Loopthe Lakefrontand lots of exciting things to enjoy. Come along with us, as we visit the Windy City.
Chicago has many nicknames besides The Windy City. A number of them came from the lines of American poet Carl Sandburg, including Hog Butcher for the World, Player with Railroads, and City of the Big Shoulders.
But many simply and proudly - call it:
My kind of Town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you

This is Madison and Wabash.
There are also two subway lines running under the Loop, which serve additional routes of the citys extensive rapid transit rail network.
