Downtown Chicago Live Cam: River and Wrigley Building

ChicagoLoopLive streams a continuous view of downtown Chicago, featuring the Chicago River, the Wrigley Building and the surrounding Loop skyline, paired with nonstop relaxing lofi hip-hop and chillhop beats.

Chicago is the birthplace of the skyscraper, and its downtown is one of the world's great showcases of architecture. The Wrigley Building, with its gleaming white terra-cotta facade and clock tower, was built in the early 1920s for the chewing-gum company and stands at the southern end of the Magnificent Mile, beside the river. Across the water rise the towers of the Loop, a mix of historic landmarks and glass giants.

The Chicago River is part of the city's identity. Its flow was famously reversed in 1900 to carry sewage away from Lake Michigan, and every St. Patrick's Day it is dyed bright green. Architecture boat tours glide along it from spring to fall, while winter brings snow, ice and the steam of the city.

Watch at night when the skyline sparkles and the bridges are lit, or at sunset when the towers glow gold. The music makes the stream an atmospheric background for studying, working, relaxing or sleeping.
