Chicago on a poster
Chicago is about as clean a grid as an American city gets, and Lake Michigan cuts a straight edge along the east side. The river bends around the north and west edges of the Loop and shows up as a bright line across the map.
Places Chicago couples put on the map
Navy Pier
The Ferris wheel, the fireworks in summer, a long walk out over the lake. The pier sticks out into the water like a finger on the map.
Millennium Park
The Bean, the lawn under the band shell, the skating rink in winter. Downtown's busiest first date sits right where the Loop meets the lake.
Lincoln Park Zoo
Free, open all year, and lit up for the holidays. On the poster the park is a long green strip along the shore.
Wrigley Field
For the couple who met in the bleachers or at a bar on Clark Street after the game. Wrigleyville's small streets fill the frame around it.

Questions
Can I map a different part of Chicago?
Yes. Type any address, park, bar or street in Chicago or nearby and the map centers there. The places above are only ideas.
Does it have to be names?
No. The big line can be Chicago, your names or any short words you like, and the place line under it is yours too.
Will it look like the preview?
Yes. The preview in the editor is the file we print, at 300 dpi. At checkout you can open it full size and read every letter.
What if the place is not on today's maps?
Type it the way you remember it. If it is gone (a bar that closed, a street that was renamed), we show the town around it and the poster keeps the name you typed. For the exact spot, type its old street address.
When does it arrive?
Each poster is made to order and printed in California. US orders arrive in 4 to 8 business days, framed or not. We email tracking the day it ships.
