What We Love About Chicago, IL
One of the coolest towns in the US and host to an array of industries and corporations, Chicago, IL has a lot going on. A vibrant and diverse city with a healthy cultural scene, it’s no wonder it’s the 3rd most populated city in North America and the largest city in the Midwest. Nicknamed the “Windy City” it’s a good thing our decommissioned shipping containers are guaranteed to be wind & watertight because winters here are not for the faint of heart.
A hard-working town, Chicago is known for manufacturing, transportation, and freight industries as well as rapid sports fans. And while sports teams may sometimes tear friends apart, the roadways and railroads are a vital part of connecting businesses with their customers and moving goods across the country. The Port of Chicago consists of several major port facilities within the city of Chicago, Illinois, and is responsible for more than $81 billion (about $250 per person in the US) of manufactured goods, $37 billion in agricultural products, and $18 billion (about $55 per person in the US) chemical products annually.
