The city of Chicago is known for many things. It is known as The Windy City more for its politics than for its weather. It is well known as the home for many of the works of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is the home of the Merchandise Mart which is the only building in Chicago (and maybe the country) that has its own zip code (60654). It is known as the home of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, the Sears Tower (or, as some now call it, the Willis Tower). It is known for the Great Chicago Fire which is fabled to have been started by a cow kicking over a kerosene lantern, but which became the civic lesson from which many current city ordinances were enacted.
