For her first summer in Chicago, we took @ChicagoSky's @Kamillascsilva to @360CHICAGO to experience the TILT thrill ride, have a sip at CloudBar, and take in some of the best views of her new home city.
Needless to say, the basketball star loves Chicago!

It's the spring equinox, and Chicagohenge! 🌇 Have you heard of this twice annual phenomenon?
Every spring and fall equinox, the sun aligns down the center of Chicago’s east/west streets, resulting in a uniquely photogenic moment.
