Navy Pier
Navy Pier is a 3,300-foot long pier on the Chicago shoreline of Lake Michigan. Navy Pier was planned and built to serve as a mixed-purpose piece of public infrastructure. Its primary purpose was as a cargo facility for lake freighters, and warehouses were built up and down the pier. However, the pier was also designed to provide docking space for passenger excursion steamers, and in the pre-air conditioning era parts of the pier, especially its outermost tip, were designed to serve as cool places for public gathering and entertainment. The pier even had its own streetcar. It was known as a romantic spot for young lovers. you can even take a boat tour along the river from here.

Super Power Restriction Unit Headquarters
The Headquarters of the SPRU in Chicago. Home to the first team and often boarding house of the others, this bulding is a bit of everything. A typical looking skyscraper near the center of the Streeter-ville area, surrounded by a half block grounds and a fence to keep out intruders it could almost be mistaken for another gallery or collage. Except for the silver SPRU hanging from the brickwork near the gate. If you're looking for a job come here, if you're a super, run and run fast.

Chicago River
Though not especially long, the river is notable for the 19th century civil engineering feats that directed its flow south, away from Lake Michigan, into which it previously emptied, and towards the Mississippi River basin. This was done for reasons of sanitation. The river is also noted for the local custom of dyeing it green on St. Patrick's Day.

Union station
a train station where tracks and facilities are shared by two or more railway companies, allowing passengers to connect conveniently between them. Often the station is used by all passenger trains serving the city, but this is not necessarily true; specifically, commuter trains here in Chicago, for example, still use four different terminals. If you're on the run, this is as good a place as any to vanish.

Owned and opperatted by Mr. Lafflan this club is one of the better clubs in town if you want to dance and party. If you want to talk you should probably go somewhere else. The boss comes in alot, nd most people tend to stay out of his way, but if you get in his good graces I'd stay there.

Giordano's
Open for more than 43 years, Giordano's bears the name of Joseph and Efren Boglio's mother. When the brothers first opened the restaurant, the pies were garlic-laden affairs, but time and consumer tastes have tempered the recipe a bit. The heft of a slice, though, remains a constant; if you can throw down more than a couple, you should consider challenging Takeru Kobayashi at the Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest.

The Sears Tower has been the tallest building in North America since 1973. It surpassed the World Trade Center, which itself had surpassed the Empire State Building only a year earlier.

The Sears Tower Skydeck observation deck opened on June 22, 1974 and is located on the 103rd floor of the tower. Tourists can experience how the building sways on a windy day. They can see far over the plains of Illinois and across Lake Michigan to Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin on a clear day. It takes about 45 seconds to soar to the top in either of two special elevators.

The Mayor's Office
That's right, the city seat. Here you'll fnd the water deparment head, the electrical deprtment head, and of course sewage and sanitation. All of them occupy the first floor while the Mayor himself has a nice office on the second floor. The name on the door however, seems to have been scratched off. Who will the next mayor be?
