🌟 THE LONDON UNDERGROUND

🚇 The London Underground, often called "the Tube," is the world’s first underground railway system. It opened on January 10, 1863, with the Metropolitan Railway running between Paddington and Farringdon. Initially steam-powered, it aimed to ease congestion on London's crowded streets.

🇷🇺 The system grew rapidly, introducing electric trains in the 1890s. Iconic features like Harry Beck's schematic map (1931) and the roundel logo became symbols of modernity. During World War II, Tube stations served as bomb shelters.

🚞 Today, the Underground spans over 250 miles, connecting 11 lines and 272 stations (compare with 15 lines and 271 stations of the Moscow Metro). Serving millions daily, it remains integral to London's infrastructure, embodying innovation while preserving its rich history.

🌟 Why is Chicago sometimes called "The Windy City"?

Hint: It’s not just about the weather!

💨 While Chicago is breezy thanks to Lake Michigan, the nickname actually originated in the late 1800s as a jab at the city’s boastful politicians and their long-winded speeches.
🗣 Rival journalists mocked Chicago’s “hot air” during the competition to host the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition.
Now, “The Windy City” is a badge of honor for Chicagoans—but it’s always fun to know the story behind it! 🏙✨
