70 METALCON SHOWGUIDE 2012 I www.metalconstructionnews.com Chicago Guide


Welcome to the Windy City Derived from a French rendering of the Native American word shikaakwa, the name Chicago is translated as “wild onion” or “wild garlic,” from the Miami-Illinois language. After its 1871 Great Chicago Fire, Chicago constructed the world’s fi rst skyscraper in 1885, using steel-skeleton construc- tion. Today, Chicago is the third most-populous city in the United States with plenty to offer and Chicagoland’s Rosemont suburb is METALCON’s 2012 host. While October 9-11 is a time to maxi- mize METALCON’s many merits, be sure to spend some time out enjoying many of the Chicago’s and Rosemont’s many amenities.
