The renowned comedy center, Second City, is headquartered at 1616 N. Wells in Chicago, just a few doors south of its original location. Their first show appeared in 1959, and they've since expanded to five cities.

The Wells Street location features an extensive training center, offers corporate workshops, and manages a television and film unit. You can see a show just about every night of the week either on the main stage or in one of their smaller, alternative spaces.

Adobo Grill, also featured in the photo, is a popular, locally-owned restaurant noted for its guacamole made table-side.
