Anna Across America - Chicago

Frank Sinatra sang about Chicago being "My Kind of Town" and here's why 2.7 million residents of the city will agree.   Sing it Frank . . .

Now that you're snapping your fingers and smiling like Anna on a can of Dr Pepper, let's learn more why Chicago is everybody's kind of town.   The third most populous city in the country, Chicago has something for everyone:  an economy that is rated as the most balanced in the United States, museums that rival any in the country, numerous parks, theater and the arts, a wide range of major sporting events, and cuisine that reflect the city's ethnic diversity (don't leave town without having a Chicago favorite Italian beef sandwich with a Dr Pepper).

Enduring more than 70 inches of snow this winter, Chicagoans are a hearty bunch - a tribute to their hard working immigrant ancestors who swelled the population of the city in the late 1800s and whose diversity is both celebrated and appreciated by its citizens today.

Celebrating Our Worldwide Audience

In the last few weeks, our audience of "Anna Fans" has included daily viewers from Germany and Poland.   Almost 12 percent of Chicago's population trace their ancestry back to one of these two countries.   We welcome these viewers to our little corner of the worldwide web in addition to new viewers from Russia, France, and Saudia Arabia who have visited so far in 2014....not to mention the hits this site gets from Anna and Dr Pepper fans from all over the United States.

The worldwide appeal of "Anna Across America" is particularly noteworthy because of the passion that Anna and her sister Martha have for travel - not only in the United States but to all parts of the globe.   The sisters have an appreciation for not only the beauty of this earth, but the diversity of its people.  And their favorite drink, Dr Pepper, with its distinctively original taste is bringing the world a little closer together, too.    Let's celebrate:
