Nicknames:

"The Windy City" (inspired by the speechmaking proclivities of its politicians more than by its prevailing weather conditions);

"Second City" (so called because it was, for many years, the second-largest city in the United States, and also because of its rebirth after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871);

"City of Big Shoulders"; and

"Hog-Butcher To The World" (from a Carl Sandburg poem).
