Twice a year, during the spring and fall equinoxes, the rising and setting sun lines up with Chicago's east-west street grid, creating spectacular photo opportunities as the sun is framed within Chicago's skyline.

On the south side....probably not far off.

I still love living here. Especially this time of year. I will need a break from the weather by March though.

I went for the first time in August

I was actually kinda surprised with how clean and the little amount of
Homeless people there were

Also wasn’t dodging bullets so my billet proof vest I brought was unused

Chicago might have been an OT-approved city if not for the bad press on the violent crime rate and the frigid winters.

I was just in Chicago two weeks ago for the first time. Very cool city if you're a fan of architecture.

The whole point is don't go to the south side and you will be fine. BTW baton rouge's homicide rate is nearly double Chicago's.

But not on the equinox since the streets are NW-SE and not perfectly E-W.
