🌟 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! 🏙✨
