Chicago’s central business district is nicknamed the ‘Loop’ because of
the elevated ‘El’ train tracks that loop around the city center. Amid
the skyscrapers and office buildings is the city’s famed Theater
District comprising the Cadillac Palace Theatre, Ford Center for the
Performing Arts/Oriental Theatre, Bank of America Theater and the
Chicago Theatre, whose glittering marquee is one of the city’s most
recognizable icons.
