This is one museum every bookworm should visit
Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451, Tupac Shakur's song Dear Mama, Patrick Henry's speech Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death – what do they all have in common? They all rank among the nation's great works of writing, and they're all celebrated at the new American Writers Museum (AWM) in downtown Chicago, this year's 10Best Readers' Choice winner for Best Attraction in Illinois.
The museum opened its doors in May of 2017 as the first museum in the United States dedicated to America's writers and works. After an inspiring visit to the Dublin Writers Museum in Ireland, AWM founder Malcolm O'Hagan was surprised to find that nothing similar existed in the U.S.
Almost a decade later, his idea became an 11,000-square-foot reality on Chicago's Cultural Mile.

시내로 들어가니 빨간 2층 버스가 눈에 띈다. ‘현대 건축의 요람’이라고 불리는 시카고. 이 버스를 타면 2시간동안 도심 골목골목을 돌며 건물을 살펴볼 수 있다. 29달러 하는 표를 한번 사면 여러 번 내렸다 다시 탈 수 있다. 미국에서 펜타곤 다음으로 큰 건물인 머천다이즈 마트. 면적이 경복궁보다 넓다. 얼마 전에 지어졌다는 이 건물은 유유히 흐르는 강물을 형상화했다고 한다. 목이 부러져라 올려다봐야 하는 존 행콕센터는 344미터의 100층짜리 초고층인데도 시카고에서 겨우 4번째로 높은 거다. 건물 외벽을 따라 엑스자 모양으로 올라간 철골 덕에 1969년 당시 이렇게 높은 건물을 지을 수 있었다고 한다. 시카고 강 바로 옆에 일명 옥수수 빌딩, 마리나 시티가 있다. 1964년에 지어진 주상복합 건물로 옥수수 알같이 생긴 한 칸 한 칸이 다 집이다. 강 옆이다 보니 지하를 깊이 파기가 어려워 19층까지를 주차장으로 지었는데, 주차된 차들이 밖에서도 훤히 보인다. 후진 주차하기 무서울 것 같다. 건물 아래는 개인용 보트 선착장이다. 시카고는 마천루의 원조다. 1885년, 세계 최초의 철골 구조 빌딩인 홈 인슈어런스 빌딩이 시카고에 생겼을 때 하늘을 찌른다는 뜻으로 마천루라는 말이 처음 사용됐다고 한다. 하지만 단지 크거나 높거나 독특해서 시카고 건축이 유명한 것은 아니다. 장식을 최대한 줄이는 대신 물류가 쉽게 드나들도록 1층 입구를 높게 만들었다. 좁은 골목에 고층 건물을 지으면 빛이 잘 안들어 올 수 있어 창문을 크게, 많이 내는 등 현대식 사무용 건물 스타일이 시카고에서 처음 시작됐다.

시카고 컵스의 홈경기가 열리는 날. 시카고엔 화이트삭스와 컵스 두 야구팀이 있는데, 역시 컵스가 인기다. 컵스의 상징은 곰. 커비 베어가 야구팬들을 맞이한다. 컵스의 아버지로 불리는 강타자 어니 뱅크스. 시카고 아버지들의 꿈은 아들과 함께 야구장에 오는 거다. “우리는 3대 째 컵스 팬이에요. 큰아들 매튜는 열두 살이고 둘째는 열한 살, 막내는 일곱 살이에요. 오늘 정말 기대돼요. 막내가 처음으로 보는 경기거든요. 첫째랑 둘째는 전에도 보러온 적 있어요. 꾀부려 학교를 빼먹고 경기를 보러오기도 했어요.“ 밴드의 연주가 분위기를 달군다. 1916년에 지어진 리글리필드는 내셔널 리그에서 가장 오래된 구장이다. 관중석이 가득 찼는데, 심지어 구장 바깥 건물 옥상에도 관중석이 마련돼 있다. 구단에서는 담을 높여 좌석 수를 늘리고 싶어 하는데 이 건물주들이 반대한다고 한다. 소송도 제기됐지만 건물주가 이겼단다. 아직도 전광판이 아닌 손으로 교체하는 스코어보드를 쓴다. 오늘 경기의 상대는 휴스턴 아스트로스. 컵스 팬의 열성은 미국에서도 유명하다. 사실 컵스는 미국 메이저리그의 최강자를 가리는 월드시리즈에서 1908년 이후 한 번도 우승하지 못했다. 그걸 ‘100년간의 슬럼프’ 또는 ‘염소의 저주’라고 부른다. 한 야구팬이 야구장에 염소를 끌고 왔다가 입장을 거부당하자, 앞으로 이 구장에서 월드시리즈가 열리지 못할 것이라고 악담을 하고 간 이후 저주에 걸렸다는 것이다. 하지만 컵스 팬들은 지치지 않고 대를 이어 컵스를 응원한다. 7회 초가 끝난 뒤, 사람들이 갑자기 일어난다. ”나를 야구장에 데려다주오. 나를 군중 속으로 데려다주오. 땅콩과 과자도 사주오. 돌아가지 못한대도 상관없소. 컵스를 평생 응원하리. 이기지 못하면 어떡하나. 원, 투, 쓰리 스트라이크, 아웃이네. 오랜 야구 경기의 규칙이라네.“ 컵스는 오늘도 졌다. 하지만 팬들은 개의치 않는 것 같다. “제가 처음 본 경기에서도 컵스가 졌는걸요 뭐. 중요한 건 야구장 분위기죠. 컵스 경기는 항상 분위기가 좋잖아요. 그죠?“

The Swedish Newspaper in America
Nordstjernan, the Swedish newspaper in America - since 1872. From longhand writing and backwards typesetting - setting one letter at a time - to a, now, strong presence in interactive, mobile, rich, and social media outlets, Nordstjernan has grown from a arduously composed paper to a seamless news aggregate for the occurrences that matter to you.
We present to you, not only the history of newspaper production in the late 1800s, but also the burgeoning, beginning world of immigration in America, and especially in New York City: how many nation cultures like Swedes, made their world complete with custom-tailored news sources in the new world.
Made with love for and many thanks to all of our friends and readers around the world.

Driving Downtown 4K - Baltimore's Main Street - USA
Driving Downtown Streets - Baltimore Street - Baltimore Maryland USA - Episode 6.
Starting Point: Baltimore Street & MLK Boulevard - .
Baltimore is the largest city in the U.S. state of Maryland, and the 29th-most populous city in the country. It was established by the Constitution of Maryland[17] and is not part of any county, thus it is the largest independent city in the United States. Baltimore has more public monuments than any other city per capita in the country and is home to some of the earliest National Register historic districts in the nation, including Fell's Point (1969), Federal Hill (1970) and Mount Vernon Place (1971). More than 65,000 properties, or roughly one in three buildings in the city, are listed on the National Register, more than any other city in the nation.[18][19]
Founded in 1729, Baltimore is the second largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic.[20] Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center.[21] After a decline in major manufacturing, industrialization and rail transportation, Baltimore shifted to a service-oriented economy, with the Johns Hopkins Hospital (founded 1889), and Johns Hopkins University (founded 1876), now the city's top two employers.[22]
Baltimore had a population of 621,849 in 2015; in 2010, that of Baltimore Metropolitan Area was 2.7 million, the 21st largest in the country.[23][24] With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a city of neighborhoods. Famous residents have included the writers Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Hamilton, Frederick Douglass, and H.L. Mencken; jazz musician James Eubie Blake; singer Billie Holiday; actor and filmmaker John Waters; and baseball player Babe Ruth. In the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key wrote The Star-Spangled Banner, later the American national anthem, in the city.[25] Almost a quarter of the jobs in the Baltimore region are in science, technology, engineering and math, in part attributed to its extensive undergraduate and graduate schools.[26]
Tourism[edit]
Baltimore's history and attractions have allowed the city to become a strong tourist destination on the East Coast. In 2014, the city hosted 24.5 million visitors, who spent $5.2 billion.[180] The Baltimore Visitor Center, which is operated by Visit Baltimore, is located on Light Street in the Inner Harbor. Much of the city's tourism centers around the Inner Harbor, with the National Aquarium being Maryland's top tourist destination. Baltimore Harbor's restoration has made it a city of boats, with several historic ships and other attractions on display and open for the public to visit. The USS Constellation, the last Civil War-era vessel afloat, is docked at the head of the Inner Harbor; the USS Torsk, a submarine that holds the Navy's record for dives (more than 10,000); and the Coast Guard cutter Taney, the last surviving U.S. warship that was in Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, and which engaged Japanese Zero aircraft during the battle.[181]
Also docked is the lightship Chesapeake, which for decades marked the entrance to Chesapeake Bay; and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, the oldest surviving screw-pile lighthouse on Chesapeake Bay, which once marked the mouth of the Patapsco River and the entrance to Baltimore. All of these attractions are owned and maintained by the Historic Ships in Baltimore organization. The Inner Harbor also is the home port of Pride of Baltimore II, the state of Maryland's goodwill ambassador ship, a reconstruction of a famous Baltimore Clipper ship.[181]
Other popular tourist destinations throughout the city include Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Fort McHenry, the Mount Vernon and Fells Point neighborhoods, and museums such as the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Industry, and the B&O Railroad Museum.

걸어서 5분 거리에 헤밍웨이 박물관이 있다. 본격적인 작품 활동을 한 곳이 아니다보니 소장품이 아주 많지는 않지만 이 고장이 얼마나 그를 자랑스러워하는지를 느낄 수 있다. 헤밍웨이의 초등학교 성적표다. A가 많이 있는걸 보니 우등생이었나 보다. 1차 대전과 스페인 내전에 참전하기도 했던 그는 전쟁의 허무함과 인간의 비극적인 모습을 작품에 담아냈다. 미국인이 가장 사랑하는 작가 헤밍웨이. 이 곳에서의 어린 시절이 그의 문학의 뿌리였다고 이 곳 사람들은 굳게 믿고 있었다.

What's Happening to Restaurants and Nightclubs in America's Oldest Gayborhood — Boystown
In Eater's first-ever documentary, 'Boystown', writer and editor Zach Stafford explores the changing identity of America's oldest gayborhood through its bars, restaurants, and bakeries. A confluence of factors — including gentrification and the commodification of the queer lifestyle — has led to the disappearances of queer-centric spaces across the country, and Zach's investigation of this one neighborhood sheds a light on much broader trends.
Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more — it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

미시건 호숫가, 일명 연필과 지우개라는 별명을 갖고 있는 건물 옆으로 밀레니엄파크가 있다. 철길을 공원으로 만들어 2004년에 개장한 이 곳의 명물은 클라우드 게이트. 강낭콩이라는 애칭을 갖고 있는 이 조형물은 아름다운 스카이라인을 한눈에 볼 수 있도록 만들어졌다. “이런 작품은 전에 본 적이 없어요. 정말 멋있고 기발해요.” 스카이라인 속에 있는 내 모습을 카메라에 담아본다. 더욱 기발한 건 이 분수. 시카고 시민 천 명의 얼굴이 들어있는데 4분마다 다른 사람으로 바뀐다. 직육면체의 분수는 시카고 빌딩숲을, 바닥에 얇게 고이는 물은 미시건 호수를 상징한다는데, 분수가 입을 오므리면, 조심해야 한다! 그저 조용한 휴식공간이 아니라 기발한 아이디어가 번뜩이는 공원이다.
