Do yall know why Chicago is called the Windy City ?

[FukYaFeelings]

I always thought it was cuz it’s windy asl but dats not da case !

Chicago is called the "Windy City" primarily
due to its 19th-century reputation for "windy" (boastful or "hot air" projecting) politicians and intense civic boosterism, particularly when lobbying for the 1893 World's Fair against New York City. While Lake Michigan does cause chilly breezes, it is not actually one of the top 10 windiest U.S. cities.

Nobody actually knows.

It’s been suggested that the Windy City nickname came from a variety of things: the cold air, jazz, lots of things…
