What's the nickname for Chicago, Illinois?
Correct answer: The Windy City
Ms.JCG
I used to lead tours in my hometown of Chicago. The nickname actually refers to the hot air of the city's politicians, not the wind!

Charlie's angel, because it has nothing to do with wind but rather politicians making ridiculous statements (i. e. Blowing wind).

For those born there, I know it is sweet...but I avoid huge cities like there is plague there. Give me wide open spaces and freedom!

I'm very surprised they didn't mention why it was called the "Windy City". As others have pointed out, it is from the politicians blowing wind and not actual wind. The fun facts after the questions are usually much better.

I used to lead tours in Chicago. The real truth behind the nickname: the politicians' hot air!

Lived there my whole life, in my sixties now, can truly tell you Windy City refers to those corrupt blowhard politicians throughout the years. But it really does it windy there,especially in the winter when that wind is blowing off of Lake Michigan

Texas Cowboys used to to drive cattle overland on the Chisholm Trail all the way from their ranches to slaughter hice by the light-green water of the bay, which soon became dark-green due to the cow’s blood spilled into it by meat packers. 🐄 🩸
