Chicago is a mega-city about an eight or nine hour drive down the road from tiny Toronto.
(I say tiny because Chicago dwarfs every city in North America with the exception of The Big Apple and L.A.)
The city has a lot going for it. From one of the world’s busiest airports to spectacular waterfront, not to mention it is the home of Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.
It’s also home to the International School of Design and Technology.
It’s a high-tech institution that covers virtually every facet of design. From photography to web-design. fashion to film production. (Too many to list.)
A group of 27 design school students just spent four days at our hostel checking out the “design scene” here in Toronto.
It seems that little T.O. can teach big Chicago a thing or two when it comes to design. Especially in the field of fashion, film production and computer animation.
The school also has a sister campus just two-blocks from our hostel’s front door.
It seems that the students had a pretty nice time here in our city and we hope they’ll make the excursion, at least, an annual event.
