Lonely Planet review

Da Mayor rules Chicago from mighty City Hall. He also tends garden and keeps bees here. To make a point a few years ago about how the city could conserve energy, he planted City Hall's roof with prairie flowers. Then he let loose 200,000 honey bees among them. By all measures, the nature experiment was a success - other 'green' roofs have blossomed throughout the city, and the bees' sweet wares are sold to make money for kids' art programs.

Plus City Hall earns a lot of street cred for letting the Blues Brothers drive their car through the building.
