I never thought I'd get engaged standing 1300 feet over the city of Chicago. It was a snowy Saturday in Chicago as my boyfriend and I wandered around the city. We decided to go see the top of the Willis Tower. At the top they have glass boxes that hang over the city with nothing under your feet but glass. As we walked into the lobby, the man at the elevator announced to everyone that the visibility at the top was very poor. I almost decided not to go, but my boyfriend convinced me that it was a good idea. We rode the elevator the whole way to the top. The Willis Tower is the second tallest building in the U.S., so it felt like it took forever to reach the top. We finally stopped and everyone moved out of the elevator. It was so cloudy at
Temperature influences the distribution of plants and this is another abiotic factor. In the Lions club tower I could feel the difference in temperature. Bottom at being cold and moist whereas the top is warm and dry. This is shown clearly on the average table. Temperatures such as snow or frost determines the distribution of plants as most plants cannot prevent freezing because of their tissues and this abiotic factor affects the plantae group. Other effects that could cause an establishment to particular plants due to temperature is the gemination of biennial plants, and this is during spring or summer known as vernalization. This is the cooling of seed in order to quickly adapt to the environment and the abiotic factors. As of the forest

The Great Chicago Fire was a fire that kept growing and eventually burned a majority of Chicago. It destroyed over 40 acres of Chicago. Over 100,000 of the people living there were left homeless and around 300 people were killed. Around 17,500 buildings perished in the fire. The fire overall burned through about 4 acres of Chicago, taking out everything and most living things in its path.
It was finally time for me to climb. I started to climb and didn’t look down. When I got to the top I realized it was a long ways down. It took me 40 seconds to climb the tower.
America’s significant train stations are a treasure and only few of us stop to appreciate them. When we go to train stations we rush through them on our way to our destinations and we do not realize that these buildings have seen history unfold. The Chicago Union Station is listed on local, state, and national historic registers and it contributes to the growth of tourism in the city of Chicago. Train stations are very busy and often filled with tourists and locals. I as a local resident decided to go to the city of Chicago on the Metra train and travel to the Chicago Union Station and take a look around.
Nearly 17 years ago a tragic event happened in New York City just around the beginning of winter. Four planes were hijacked and were headed toward an important and big building in New York City and Washington D.C. Only three out of four hit the important buildings they were heading for in New York City and Washington D.C. Now one of the biggest buildings in West New York City, the World Trade Center, is home to a huge memorial museum from the tragic day of September 11, 2001.
It was the furthest we had ever traveled to go somewhere. The first 7 hours felt like forever since it was all just highway and nothing to see but trees until we passed by Richmond Virginia which was a city we had never seen. It looked very historical just by passing through it on I-95. We later continued on and stumbled upon Washington D.C, Baltimore, and later on to Philadelphia. After about 13 hours we started getting very close to our destination. My family and I were very anxious to finally get to our hotel. It was about 11 pm when started seeing massive skyscrapers lit up by their inner lights. To my amazement, it was my first time seeing New York City.
Trump is a name synonymous with success, luxury and class, and the family's eponymous condos will generate that same type of exclusive status for you if you choose-or are so fortunate-to call the Trump Tower Chicago home. You can choose to live in either hotel or residential condominiums, which have their own private entrance to the hotel but still have full access to the hotel's amenities. Just steps away from the city's famed Magnificent Mile, living at the Trump Tower Chicago means you don't have to travel to the best of Chicago's dining and entertainment options-they're right in your neighborhood.
Have you ever been all the way to the top of the World Trade Center?Well I have and it was amazing!I was pretty scared because I'm afraid of heights,but when I got up to the top I forgot all about being scared.When I was going up in the elevator it showed a amazing virtual view of the buildings around the World Trade Center.
The reality of change is a scary but a necessary situation during life. It brings people together through hard times, like hurricane Katrina. It could tear a society apart as it did to the Roman Empire when it fell into the wrong hands of a blood thirsty dictator. Changes could be harmless, in the sense that human life didn’t die because of it, like East Africa transitioning from a jungle to a grassland. Changes sometimes go unnoticed, like the sky changing from sunny to partly cloudy. Throughout all these different kinds of changes, people react in different ways and may make hard, indecisive decisions on how to solve or deal with the problem or issues. Change effects humans differently throughout time or in a matter of an over night experience,
It was a normal, September morning for Roz and her daughter, Amanda. She dropped her off at her school and rode the subway to get to her job at the first World Trade Center building. After a few minutes of entering the building, arriving at the 88th floor, and engaging in light small talk with a coworker, an explosion occurred that shook the whole building. Dazed and confused, Roz and her coworkers stood in confusion wondering what happened. It wasn’t until they saw one of their team members badly burned from head to toe that they realized that what had happened. Frantically, they ran towards a stairwell and descended down 80+ flights of stairs to the safety of the firefighter and police filled lobby. At a point of desperation and exhaustion, Roz was lucky to find a ride to her daughter’s school where family members were already there waiting to hear a call of good news (A Survivor’s Story). Stories like these are a dime a dozen, although many were not as lucky as Roz. The attack on September 11th, 2001 forever changed the lives of many and the consequences had a radical effect on all aspects of life including politics, health, and discrimination acts.
As I go up and catch up to the firefighters, one of them all bloody and one dead.as we go up we hear that the other tower has collapsed and we are told to get out now, but we were trapped we couldn't go down anymore our only option was to jump but we had to be the last to jump.
In the state of Seattle, Washington a magnificent and beautiful building stands tall glowing with spectacular colors and is one of the most visited monuments in the world. As it has had hundreds of millions of people come to visit and dine on top of the astonishing tower for over sixty years, and has since been called the biggest jewel in all of the emerald city.
The National Mall: A place with rich history that has served as the hub for American politics and antiquity. I wasn’t too excited on that Friday morning (not really a morning person), but I got up and was ready to embark on an endeavour full of service.
The elevator ride to the top took less than a minute. It went by quickly thanks to the virtual aerial animation.
