I moved to Chicago a few years ago. I'm a big fan of electronic music and it therefore really surprised me that people are not aware of the rich house music heritage the city has. I'm really happy to see initiatives such as the lunch-break DJ sets on Daley Plaza during summer or the House nights at the Shedd Aquarium.
One of my business ideas is to actually organize a "House Music Heritage" walking tour in Chicago.

Records was very much responsible for exposing quite a few people to industrial music in the 80s, also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_Trax!_Records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_Trax!_Records Chicago often doesn't get the cultural recognition that it deserves. My wife and I love it there, and visit as often as possible.
