Find these words
Chicago sits on the shore of Lake Michigan, and the lakefront shapes the whole city. Downtown is called the Loop, circled by the elevated train that gives it the name. The city is known for its architecture, from early skyscrapers to a riverwalk lined with them, and for a museum district along the water. Add a navy pier, a deep dish pizza, blues clubs on the south side, and the windy reputation. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
