Take a look at this.<\/span><\/i><\/h6>\n

There are a lot, and we mean A LOT of different Chicago videos out there. It\u2019s unsurprisingly really, given the size of the big city and all. Still, it can be difficult to pick and choose the bad from the good without actually sitting down and going through all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at the Plugg, we have no lives, so that\u2019s exactly what we did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that some of these weren\u2019t actually created in 2015, that\u2019s just when we posted them. Here are Plugg<\/strong><\/span>\u2019s best videos of 2015.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Screen-Shot-2015-08-07-at-10.59.33-AM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stunning Timelapse Video of Chicago at Night<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

Yes, the name is pretty self-explanatory, but we\u2019ll give you an overview anyway. Max Wilson, one of the best timelapse photographers around, put this video together over a period of two years. Needless to say, it\u2019s worth a watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Chicago<\/a><\/p>\n

This Crazy Chicago Stuntman Will Leave You Breathless<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

Really though, if you have a fear of heights, you might want to just scroll down. If you\u2019re feeling up to it, watch professional stuntman Ethan Swanson take on a daring hang from a crane overlooking a busy Chicago intersection. At one point he even lets go entirely, hanging only from the hand of his mysterious companion.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Drone<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago: A Bird\u2019s Eye View VII \u2013 Summer in the City<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

Chicago is arguably at its best during the summer months, and this drone video captures that perfectly. This is one of those videos that makes you daydream of the warmer days while you stare blankly outside at the frozen tundra of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Chicago<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago Epic<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

It doesn\u2019t get more official than Choose Chicago, the city\u2019s official tourism branch. This unbelievable ad captures just about everything that makes Chicago, Chicago. You might even catch a little bit of a Windy City accent at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Chicago<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago \u2013 Wonder City<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

When many of us were 18, we were too worried about the opposite sex, that upcoming chem test, and what we were going to wear tomorrow. Marcel Lesch is just a bit different than us, which he\u2019s shown by doing things like capturing 9,000 photos of Chicago in just 36 hours. You know, normal teen stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Christmas in Chicago<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

Our friends at<\/span> The Outbound Life<\/span><\/a> blessed us with this one just a few weeks ago, and even though it\u2019s still fresh in our minds, we\u2019re pretty sure the magic isn\u2019t fading away anytime soon. Simply put, we\u2019re already asking for more. Maybe Santa will gift it to us next year? (hint, hint, guys).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2746\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Homesick for Chicago<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h6>\n

By far the most popular video that we\u2019ve hosted on our site, Homesick for Chicago isn\u2019t just your usual drone video. It\u2019s heart-wrenching, emotionally driven, tear-jerking stuff. Grab a box of Kleenex. You\u2019re gonna need it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stay tuned for the rest of our upcoming series, as we\u2019ll be giving you Plugg’s best food, events, shows, and rankings over the first week of January.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
