With nearly a hundred stores and restaurants, Water Tower is Chicago's largest shopping center and one of the two largest in America. There's something for everyone: men's, women's and children's clothing, jewelry and accessories, bookstores, electronics, souvenirs, gifts, beauty, shoes, toys, recreation...

And there's no need to go out for a bite to eat: as with the casinos, everything here is designed to ensure that shoppers never leave the mall. A dozen restaurants are located inside the mall. They take up an entire floor of the mall.

Chicago Historic Water Tower

In short, a real piece of America (a certain kind of America, anyway...) in a (very) big shoebox. A small city within a city, with food stalls and stalls selling everything and anything (cell phones, cosmetics, electronic gadgets, etc.) in the aisles, a bit like a market where the vendor calls out to passersby.

The most luxurious brands rub shoulders with fast-food chains, the latest teen fashion store and a furniture boutique. It's all very heterogeneous, a bit like the clientele, and ultimately a bit like the United States.
