Curve Equity Exposed Fund Yesterday, after our lovely Austrian breakfast we went downtown
to the Chicago Cultural Center, the main downtown information hub
for tourists, to ask some questions about the Pullman Historic
District, a planned industrial community, built in the 1880s by
industrial magnate George Pullman, creator of the famous Pullman
sleeper cars. We figured this would be an interesting place to
visit since it brings together architecture, social and industrial
history, and it would really give us insight into one of the most
interesting personalities of Chicago's history.

Capital Casebook Equity As a matter of fact, I had registered electronically for a
Chicago Greeter Tour prior to my departure, but something had gone
wrong with my registration and as a result I was not assigned a
greeter. The good thing is that the City of Chicago also offers
"InstaGreeters" - local volunteers / experts who take people on
downtown walking tours without the necessity of a prior
registration.

Private Investment In Public This is how we happened upon our very own personal InstaGreeter
tour: Chicago Greeter and local expert Don talked to us a bit about
the Pullman Historic District, but the more we talked, and the more
he saw that we were really interested, he asked us whether we
wanted a 20 minute tour of the Chicago Cultural Center. Considering
that this is a Chicago landmark we readily agreed.

Equity Mutual Funds The Chicago Cultural Center was originally dedicated in 1897 as
the city's original Public Library. It is an impressive
limestone-faced building with intricate details, marble staircases,
patterned ceilings, beautiful
floor mosaics and two impressive stained glass domes. The cupola
on the south side of the building is the world's largest Tiffany
stained-glass dome.

Information Centers , various galleries, exhibition and meeting
spaces, the Landmark Chicago Gallery which displays photographs
from the permanent collection of Chicago landmarks, the 294-seat

other facilities. You can even get married inside the Chicago
Cultural Center.
Private Equity Investment Firm Designed in the beaux-arts style by the Boston firm Shepley,
Rutan and Coolidge, the Chicago Cultural Center was completed in
1897 and dedicated as the city's original Chicago Public Library.
Completed at a cost of nearly $2 million, this remarkable monument
was inspired by the neo-classical style of the World's Columbian
Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.
Complying Deal Equity Funds To start off, Don told us that the name of the city of Chicago
is an Indian word for "stinky onion swamp". He also explained that
Chicago is a city of superlatives: 3 of the world's 10 highest
buildings are located here. Chicago is also widely considered to be
the birthplace of modern architecture and a
living museum of architecture,
showcasing some of the world's most famous architects including
Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Mies van der
Rohe and Frank Gehry.
Equity Msn Private Wyoming Chicago likes to do everything big. The world's largest public
library is located here: the Harold Washington Library Center
houses 2 million books. Chicago is also
home to the largest building in
the United States (excluding the Pentagon): the Merchandise Mart
has 90 acres of floor space, housed in an Art Deco landmark.
Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park is one of the world's largest
fountains. Chicago also has the only river in the world that
flows backwards. Engineers reversed the Chicago River in 1900
for sanitary purposes. Here's another interesting fact: Chicago
also has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw.
American Equity Investment Our local expert Don took us through the building and showed us
the two stained glass domes, the exhibit halls, the photo
collection of Chicago landmarks, and to keep going along the line
of superlatives, Don gave us a brief synopsis of Millennium Park,
located right
across Michigan Avenue from the
Chicago Cultural Center. The idea for Millennium Park was
conceived by famous mayor Richard M. Daley, and with the help of
private sector donations Millennium Park has become one of the
most impressive outdoor venues anywhere. The project cost $495
million, of which $220 million were financed privately.
Equity Index Funds Our Chicago Greeter Don, a former vice-president at Motorola, is
very knowledgeable about the history of Chicago and very passionate
about his city. His pride in his city is obvious, and there is a
lot to be proud of. For me, Chicago's waterfront including Grant
Park, the lakefront trail and its beaches are some of the most
awesome features of this city. In total Chicago has more than 7300
acres of parkland, 552 parks, 33 beaches, nine museums, two
world-class conservatories, 16 historic lagoons, 10 bird and
wildlife gardens, and it's not surprising
that Chicago has won numerous awards including "Best City in the
World" and other accolades.
Equity Private Team Wyoming With Don's help we got a great overview of the Cultural Center
and a bit of insight into Chicago's interesting history. It was the
perfect preparation for our tour of the Pullman Historic District,
an industrial community created by George Pullman, an industrial
despot, yet a foresightful social entrepreneur who, according to
Don, was universally despised.
Equity Group Investment Armed with a bit of background knowledge we were looking forward
to our exploration of Pullman's social experiment.
