Chicago is a densely populated and walkable city, that is if you’re in the loop. The loop is one of Chicago’s 77 designated community areas and is the heart of Chicago’s downtown and the center of Chicago’s business district. The Loop is also home to some of the world’s earliest skyscrapers. It is the third largest city in the United States and is known as the windy city. Chicago is also currently home to Mariya Russell, the world’s first black woman to earn a Michelin Star. Myesha and I were fortunate enough to take a trip to Chicago in January of 2020.
