5 Most Haunted Places in Chicago Explained by a Ghost Expert and a Historian
Chicago often ranks among the most haunted cities in the United States, but not everyone is a fan of ghost stories. When I asked Northwestern University professor and historian Bill Savage to weigh in, he said, “Chicago is haunted not by ghosts, but by the city’s neglect of the working class.” Whether you believe in the supernatural or not (I’m with Bill), most of Chicago’s enduring ghost stories contain at least a kernel of historical truth. With that in mind, here are the ten “most haunted” sites in the city.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
The Ultimate DUBAI FOOD TOUR - Street Food and Emirati Cuisine in Dubai, UAE!
Check out this amazing food in Dubai, UAE!

Subscribe for 2 new videos per week►
When I was in Dubai, I had the privilege of hanging out and eating with my friend Peyman ( He’s from Dubai, he loves to eat, and he knows some of the best food spots in Dubai. So in this Dubai food tour, we went around and ate Emirati food, rice and lamb, street food, karak tea, and finally ended with home cooked Emirati food at Peyman’s home.
One thing I want to quickly mention, and Peyman and I discussed this in the video as well, is that Emirati food at restaurants is still not very common in Dubai. This is because there are so many international restaurants in Dubai, and local Emiratis typically just eat their food at home. But things are changing and there is starting to be a higher demand for Emirati food in Dubai.
Al Fanar Restaurant - One of the only full Emirati food restaurants in Dubai. We ordered Luqaimat, Tharid, Madrooba, Balaleet. All the food was fantastic, and it’s a nice environment.
Total price - 280 AED ($76.21)
Karak - 0.50 AED ($0.14) per cup - This is originally adapted from India, but it’s a full part of the culture in UAE, and you can get cups of karak tea right to your car.
Al Marhabani Restaurant - Mandi is one of the greatest Arabian food dishes, originally from Yemen. It includes rice and meat that’s traditionally cooked in an underground oven. The lamb here was outstanding.
Total price - 200 AED ($54.44)
Al Labeeb Grocery - Regag bread - This is a little gem of a shop that Peyman took me to. They make some Dubai street food style crepes with cheese and fish sauce, and it’s awesome.
Price - 6 AED ($1.63) each
Machboos - Finally at Peyman’s house for dinner, he cooked machboos, one of the national dishes of UAE. It was a great way to end this Dubai food tour!
Thank you for watching this Dubai food tour!

WASHINGTON - RIPRESE & MONTAGGIO DI GIANNI IMPEGNOSO
WASHINGTON - RIPRESE & MONTAGGIO DI GIANNI IMPEGNOSO - TRATTO DAL DVD DOCUMENTARIO AMERICAN ROAD STREET
Washington, nota anche come District of Columbia[2] (D.C.), è la capitale degli Stati Uniti d'America, con una popolazione di 632.323 abitanti[1] (5.582.170 abitanti nell'area metropolitana)[3] coincidente col distretto federale previsto dalla Costituzione dell'Unione.
Washington si trova sulla costa orientale degli Stati Uniti a circa 50 km dal mare, a sud dello stato del Maryland, a nord dello stato della Virginia e a 374 km circa a sud di New York.
L'area metropolitana di Washington deborda dai confini del distretto, estendendosi anche su 7 contee del Maryland (Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery e Prince George's), su 5 contee della Virginia (Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, Prince William e Stafford) e su 5 città autonome dello stesso Stato (Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas e Manassas Park). Gran parte dell'area è collegata da un servizio di metropolitana.
Hanno sede a Washington le principali istituzioni di governo degli Stati Uniti (Presidente, Congresso, Corte Suprema), molti ministeri ed enti federali, e alcune organizzazioni internazionali, tra cui la Banca Mondiale, il Fondo Monetario Internazionale e l'Organizzazione degli Stati Americani.
In origine, la città di Washington e il distretto di Columbia avevano personalità giuridiche distinte, ma nel 1871 il District of Columbia Organic Act[4] deliberato dal Congresso dissolse tutte le previgenti autorità, inclusa la città di Georgetown, e la Contea di Washington, sottoponendo l'intero territorio dapprima ad un unico governatore di nomina presidenziale, e dal 1874 ad un triumvirato composto da due politici e un ingegnere. Da quel momento, la Città di Washington e il Distretto di Columbia divennero la stessa entità.
Nel 1973 le richieste per una maggiore democrazia nel distretto portarono all'approvazione del District of Columbia Home Rule Act[5], la legge che soppresse il triumvirato e affidò l'amministrazione cittadina a un sindaco eletto dal popolo, il Mayor, e a un Consiglio comunale, il Council of the District. Il distretto, che gode di 3 voti nel collegio dei Grandi elettori del Presidente dell'Unione, non prevede nella propria legislazione la pena di morte.
Washington è una città pianificata. Nel 1791, il presidente Washington commissionò a Pierre Charles L'Enfant il progetto di una nuova capitale. Francese di nascita, architetto e urbanista, L'Enfant arrivò nelle colonie come ingegnere militare durante la guerra d'indipendenza americana. Il piano di L'Enfant per Washington presentava ampie strade e viali che si irradiano da rettangoli, fornendo sufficiente spazio aperto. Egli basò il suo progetto sui piani urbanistici di città come Parigi, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe, Milano e portati dall'Europa da Thomas Jefferson nel 1788.[43] L'Enfant progettò anche un grande viale alberato Grand Avenue di circa 1 miglio (1,6 km) di lunghezza e 120 m di larghezza nella zona che ora è il National Mall.[44]
Nel mese di marzo 1792, il presidente Washington respinse il progetto di L'Enfant a causa di alcune differenze di vedute che avevano portato a contrasti con i tre commissari nominati per supervisionare la costruzione della capitale. Andrew Ellicott, che aveva lavorato con L'Enfant, rilevò il progetto. Anche se Ellicott fece delle revisioni ai piani originali, L'Enfant è ancora accreditato per aver disegnato l'organizzazione complessiva della città.[45]
Con l'inizio del XX secolo, il progetto di L'Enfant di una capitale con parchi aperti e grandi monumenti nazionali era andato perso per via di baraccopoli e edifici edificati casualmente, tra cui una stazione ferroviaria sul National Mall. Nel 1900, il Congresso costituì una commissione mista, presieduta dal senatore James McMillan, che venne incaricata di abbellire il centro cerimoniale di Washington.[34] L'opera di riqualificazione, conosciuta come Piano McMillan, è stata ultimata nel 1901. questi lavori inclusero il parco del Campidoglio e il centro commerciale, la costruzione di nuovi edifici federali e monumenti, la demolizione delle baraccopoli, e l'istituzione di un sistema di parchi in tutta la città. Gli architetti reclutati dal comitato mantennero gran parte dello schema originale della città e si ritiene che il loro lavoro sia derivato per la maggior parte dalle idee originarie di L'Enfant.[46]
