    Chicago is not called, "The Windy City", for it's wind.

    In actuality, it was dubbed to describe their politicians as "Blowing a lot of wind."

    Other origins have been because of their long windedness to attempt to host the World's Fair by an NYC journalist, as well as actual wind which help quell the Great Chicago Fire.
