			<h3 class="meeting_subtitle">City Profile</h3>
            
            
            <span id="PrintArea">The "Windy City" first became a city in 1837, having emerged from 
              its origins as a backwater swampland mapped in the late 17th century 
              to become an industrial and economic powerhouse that would solidify 
              its place in U.S. history.<br>
              <br>
              From 1850 to 1860, shortly after the development of the railroad 
              and the Illinois/Michigan Canal, Chicago experienced a tremendous 
              population surge and speculation which led to observations such 
              as this from a visiting British tourist: "It is a city not in growth, 
              but in revolution; growth is much too slow a word for the transformation 
              of a hamlet of log-huts into a Western New York in the space of 
              a few years." Chicago's population almost tripled during that decade.<br>
              <br>
              The Great Fire in 1871 burned four square miles of the 
city. The 
              city responded by replacing the old wooden structures with
 modern 
              brick buildings in the form of banks, businesses, 
department stores, 
              government agencies, and residential housing. Chicago's 
architects 
              built upward instead of outward for lack of space, and one
 result 
              was America's first steel-frame skyscraper, the Home 
Insurance Building, 
              in 1885. Almost 100 years later in 1973, Chicago laid 
claim to what 
              then was the tallest building in the world, Sears Tower 
(now called Willis Tower), which stands at 1,450 feet tall. 
<br>
				<br>
              Chicago is a city rich in history. It is also home to many of the 
              world's most famous architectural feats and popular retail and tourist 
              destinations such as "The Magnificent Mile"; the country's largest 
              exhibit and convention center, McCormick Place; one of the world's 
              busiest airports, O' Hare International; the Navy Pier lakefront entertainment complex, a 
              Chicago landmark since 1916; the monumental new Millennium Park; 
              the second oldest baseball park in the country, Wrigley Field, and 
              a total population in excess of 2.8 million. </span>
