Chicago Blown Up
Chicago is a great city to be blown up on film - it’s recognizable, it’s the country’s best and biggest “town”, and how cool is it to go to a movie and say, “Hey, I just watched the building I work in get totalled by a Transformer!”
Why blow up Chicago in a movie?
Blowing up Chicago in a film would be perfect in a blockbuster film because it would be unusual, the city has great architecture, and a beautiful lake, and shoreline
Blowing up Chi Town
Chicago is a great city for movies to be filmed in, and even a little explosion every once in a while won’t hurt. To blow up Chicago for a movie, not only brings entertainment and excitement to the city but shows what an incredible city I have the opportunity to live in. For one, Chicago has some of the best buildings and tallest skyscrapers, and the architecture alone in the buildings is impecabale. Chicago is no stranger to explosions, we did have the Great Chicago Fire all due to a Cow!!! There are also excellent architects and builders within the city that are more than willing and able to build new buildings, skyscrapers, and whatever else is needed to help keep chicago looking beautiful!!!
