Chicago, Illinois Trade Show Displays & Trade Show Information
Chicago is known as "The Windy City" but not because of the strong gusts coming off of Lake Michigan or the wind tunnels created by the tall buildings. But the origin of the term seems to come from an 1876 article in the Cincinnati Enquirer referring to city boosters and politicians who were full of hot air.
