What city is known as the Windy City?

Chicago, Illinois, is commonly known as the "Windy City." The nickname is not primarily due to its weather, as many people might assume. Instead, it originated from the city's long history of political discourse and was originally meant to describe the city's politicians, who were considered to be "full of hot air" or boastful. Despite this origin, Chicago can indeed experience windy weather, particularly in the winter months, given its location near Lake Michigan.
