The Importance Of The Road Trip To Chicago

“Click click” was all I could hear from the seatbelts as we set off for Wisconsin this summer. The nerves were through the roof to get to our destination, “Wisconsin Dells, the waterpark capitol of the world”. This trip was gonna be all about having fun, unlike last year it was a nightmare. Sunburnt skin, and terrible stomach aches are no fun on a vacation.

The Great Chicago Fire was a major milestone in the city’s history. The fire started on October 8th, 1871 and did not end until October 10th, 1871. People never saw this fire coming which might have made it even worse. The only reason it spread so far was because everything was made out of wood, the ground was parched and the wind was blowing that night; the reason it stopped was because it had started raining. Although the fire destroyed most of the city, it was a positive turning point in history. The Chicago Fire improved firefighting and their equipment, new buildings that were made out of fireproof materials, and it brought big investors to the city.

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 would forever alter the city of Chicago, as well as the community which called the city home. The fire left a path of destruction no Chicagoan had ever experienced. Despite the terrible destruction and loss of life, the fire led to the construction of the Chicago everyone knows and loves today.

CAAP gives incoming freshmen insight into the University of Chicago experience. CAAP softens the transition for students into the UChicago experience.

On Sunday, October 18, 1871 the largest fire Chicago has ever seen broke out. Hundreds died and thousands of homes were annihilated. Devistation towered over the city, ashes floated gracefully through the air as bodies, houses and cherished items burned. People ran in fear, holding their young, crying for the gone, searching for saftey. Searching for life. Searching for hope.

The Chicago Fire of 1871, otherwise know as the Great Chicago Fire, began on October 8th and lasted through the 10th. The fire left the windy city in ruins and left nearly 100,000 people homeless. The fire burned four miles long of the city and nearly a mile wide, which cause almost 300 people to die and 200 million dollars of property damage. The Great Chicago Fire was a historical event that won't soon be forgotten, and caused this sturdy city to grow to greatness.

It was October 8, 1871, Chicago was a city ready to burn. It was a Sunday night, the fire would burn for the rest of Sunday, all of Monday, and into the early hours of Tuesday with really “little opposition”. This day was not going to be a good day. In Jim Murphy’s book, The Great Fire, the author gives all the evidence to show that Chicago was “ready to burn”.

T’s been 145 years since the event of The Great Chicago Fire. The fire started October 8, 1871 just after 9:00pm. The fire started in a barn at Patrick and Catherine O’Leary’s house. There was a bell at the top of the courthouse that warned people of the fire. However, the cause of fire is still unknown, but the biggest theory is that O’Leary cow kicked over a lantern.

The horrific Chicago Fire devastated Chicago, Illinois on October 8, 1871, continuing until October 10, 1871. Hundreds of lives and thousands of homes were claimed by the fire (Duis 435). Many were left without a single possession, causing them to start over on their lives completely. Although for some this would have been bad, for others, it meant a new start for a better life. It gave criminals a chance to clean up their life and go back to their families. The cause of the Chicago Fire of 1871 is still unknown, although it left much devastation until Martial Law took over, resulting in the city patriotically rebounding back.

People tend to want to go on vacations with their families at least once out of a year. When planning a trip, everyone focuses on what there is to do, where they will be staying, how long it will take to get there, or how much the trip will cost. However, there are several things people forget to consider when planning a vacation, like their safety or traffic jams. Chicago would be one of the places people would not want to vacation. Although there are a few reasons why they would want to vacation in Chicago, there are way more cons than pros.
