by Travis Kinsey and Haley ShapleyThis one-stop shop for entertainment needs dates back to 1916 and
features the Chicago Children's Museum, a Ferris wheel and other
rides, a 440- seat IMAX theater, daily performances on numerous
stages, and a fireworks show (two nights a week during the summer).
DALLAS/FORT WORTH
Your Guess Is as Good as Ours
Visitors annually: Good question
Maybe it's Sundance Square, which 10 million visit. It could be
Six Flags over
Texas - but they wouldn't tell us their numbers, no
matter how nicely we asked. Is it the
Dallas Zoo? We don't know,
because they wouldn't talk either. There's a lot to see and do in
the DFW area, but when it comes to revealing tourist stats, this
place is as tight-lipped as a two-year-old staring at a plate of
spinach.

their lives on the "date which will live in infamy." Approximately
two quarts of
oil still leak from the ship each day, and the
