Chicago was founded in the early 1800s and served as a connection between the advanced East Coast and the enlarged Wild West. On the shores of Lake Michigan, the amelioration of suburbia and skyscrapers was low but persistent. Though the devastating fire of 1871 grounded Chicago, it came back again and this time increase took pace every decade. By 1900, it crossed the mark of two million people.
Chicago is now the third largest city in the United States next to New York City and Los Angeles, California. Not only being the third largest city in the U.S, Chicago also ranks among the world's foremost market and transportation centers

From what I have read, Chicago is nicknamed the windy city for dissimilar reasons. The first intuit is that the Mayor of Chicago boasted so much about Chicago hosting the worlds fair, which implied the Mayor was windy. other intuit was that the politicians in the Chicago are full of hot air therefore implying the windy city. The last intuit is that the editor of a newspaper was trying to promote Chicago as a summer resort and used Lake Michigan's summer breeze as a selling point. I do not know which of the reasons above gave Chicago its nickname the windy city but they all seem to make sense to me.
Chicago is also celebrated for its exquisite art institutions and museums, great food and great jazz music. If you have an appetite for sports, Chicago has the legendary Bulls, Bears, and Cubs, which are well known all over the world.
Chicago is a astounding place to visit. The fever of Chicago will impress you.
