Chicago Abounds with Business Venues, Culture, Dining and Outdoor Fun

Illinois school students learning about Chicago’s origins are taught the acronym “HOMES” — Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior — for good reason. Chicago was formally established as a port city around 1833, with Lake Michigan feeding into the Great Lakes system and, later, the Mississiippi River when the Illionis and Michigan Canal reached completion in 1848, connecting the Chicago River to the Illinois River. The expansion of the nation’s railroad system the same year connected Chicago and the Eastern United States to the American West.

Leopard Sands Kruger Park on the Banks of the Sabie River Review

Getting to and from Leopard Sands Kruger Park on the Banks of the Sabie River in Kruger National Park is half the fun, as it is a short, scenic drive from tiny Skukuza Airport (possibly one of the most attractive and mellow in existence) and main entrance of Kruger National Park, which turns 100 in 2026. Having evolved into a well-oiled machine since its December 2023 opening, it presents its first “wow” moment 30 minutes before even setting foot on the property. As baggage is brought in from the plane, drivers from the lodge set out a selection of beer; soft drinks; and locally produced dried fruit, nut mixes and biltong (the South African cousin to jerky). It’s a small sample of what’s to come.
