Titanic: It's Not Just a Heartbreak Song, People!
So, you're itching to relive the grandeur, tragedy, and questionable fashion choices of the Titanic? Well, hold your horses, Jack Dawson, because you might not need to book a deep-sea expedition. Chicago has brought a piece of the Titanic right to your doorstep, or rather, your shopping mall.
Where, Oh Where is This Aquatic Wonderland?
Believe it or not, the Titanic has swapped the icy North Atlantic for the cozy confines of Westfield Old Orchard. Yes, you heard that right. You can now pretend to be a first-class passenger while buying a new pair of shoes. Talk about a drastic change of scenery!
So, why on earth would they put a Titanic exhibit in a shopping mall? Well, perhaps it's to distract you from the price tags. Or maybe they're hoping to induce a sense of urgency: "Quick, buy that dress before the iceberg hits!"
What to Expect on Your Titanic Adventure
Prepare to be transported back to 1912. You'll be greeted by the ship's grand staircase, which is probably a lot less slippery than it was in the movie. You'll see real artifacts from the Titanic, like cutlery and porcelain. I mean, can you imagine eating soup off a Titanic plate while surrounded by shoppers? It's like a bizarre time-traveling picnic.
There's also a section dedicated to the discovery of the Titanic. You can pretend to be a deep-sea explorer without the whole drowning thing. And if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can even try on some Titanic-era costumes. Just don't blame me if you end up looking like you're about to attend a Gatsby-themed funeral.
