Chicago Has Superman’s Back
Did you know that Metropolis is a real place? No really, it is. It can be found in Illinois and is the hometown of Superman. How would you feel living in the city of your favorite superhero?
“In 1972, with the support of both DC Comics and the state House of Representatives, Metropolis, Illinois, began calling itself the hometown of Superman,” Discovery wrote. “In honor of Clark Kent’s employer, the Daily Planet, the newspaper there even changed its name to the Metropolis Planet. Though a planned Superman theme park fell through, Metropolis continues to embrace the Man of Steel.”
