The Windy City
In contrast to the freezing Chicago weather I experienced back in March, this time 'round its climate was perfect - warm, with a little wind coming off the lake (which was a welcome change from the humidity of Indianapolis). Writing of wind, the origin of the city's nickname as "The Windy City" is debated, but the most common explanation had been that the phrase was created by New York newspapers in the 1880s during a national debate over which city would host the 1893 World's Fair. Ironically, the Chicago citizenry turned the intended slur into a compliment of the city's vitality. This is a photo from Grant Park.
