What the creator captured
Travelwithchris explored the vibrant food scene of West Nanjing Road in Shanghai, noting that street food often exists in organized shops rather than open stalls. While he was surprised to find his highly-anticipated bubble tea was essentially just a cup of plain milk, he embraced the local culture by trying traditional snacks like duck and chicken feet. He was particularly impressed by the friendliness of the locals and the bustling, modern atmosphere of the city.

Planning notes for Chicago
The Near North community area in Chicago is situated between the Chicago River to the south and west, Lake Michigan to the east, and North Avenue to the north. Historically, this area was the site of the city’s first permanent non-indigenous settlement, established by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable in the late 18th century. Following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed most existing structures.
