Chicago is known as the "Windy City" because of the blow hard politicians. It's also know as the 2nd City because it had to be rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire.

It's not windy. It's from the hot air from political.

Chicago has the dubious distinction of being #2 all-time most corrupt city in America right behind you guessed it Washington D. C. Info from Google.
gchiker69, I live in Chicago. It is actually pretty windy, especially in the winter.

CapatinaMonaLissa, not true! It’s because the wind coming off of Lake Michigan during the winter is brutal. We also refer to the wind as the “hawk”! Born, raised, and live in Chicago!

Player #2700306, so don't play the US version of the game. Switch your country in settings and stop complaining.

Player #2700306, use the European version - no one's going to miss you if all you do is complain about the difficulty of random American trivia.

Frogman74395, The root word "Chicago" is a root word of Algonquin dialect shikaakwa meaning striped trunk or smelly onions.

There's a city called "The Windy City Of The West," and that is Fontana, California, located in southwestern San Bernardino County. Its population is roughly 250,000. It lies south of a mountainous saddle in the San Gabriel Mountain Range, slightly east of the extinct volcano, Mt Baldy. Winds here can reach gale speeds and cause a lot of ecological and structural damage. These winds also affect neighboring cities, such as Upland, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, Chino Hills, and the San Bernardino city "metroplex" consisting of incorporated and unincorporated cities like Colton, Highland and Bloomington.

Frogman74395, The "Blow-hard politician" theory is untrue. Born & raised here, it's nearly ALWAYS windy here due to Lake Michigan.

DistressedHunter8576, probably from the mafia that was very prominent, prolific, and ran the city! Who is the Mafia leader in Chicago?
Chicago's most infamous Prohibition-era crime boss, Al Capone is best known for his violence and ruthlessness in his elimination of his rivals.
And I loved watching the shows about Frank Nitti trying to take Capone down! I just read this alarming fact Bosses (Official And Acting)Edit ; Frank Nitti (Born Francesco Nitto) The Enforcer, 1931, 1943, Committed suicide in 1943.
