That places Chicago 1 of 5 among North America, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.
The most recent entries are The Old Landmark Church of God Holiness in Christ, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Paris Metro Entryway (Metra). This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.
