Here are some fun facts about Chicago, IL:

Chicago is known as the "Windy City," not because of its weather, but because of its politicians who were known for being "full of hot air" in the late 1800s.

The first ever Ferris Wheel was invented and introduced at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. It was designed to rival the Eiffel Tower, which was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1889.

Chicago is the birthplace of the skyscraper. In 1885, the Home Insurance Building, a 10-story tall structure, was completed in Chicago, marking the beginning of the skyscraper era.

The Chicago River is famously dyed green every year for St. Patrick's Day. The tradition started in 1962 when a plumber used 100 pounds of green vegetable dye to turn the river green.

Chicago is home to the world's largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings outside of France. The collection is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, which is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the United States.

The Chicago Cubs baseball team had a championship drought of 108 years, which was the longest in the history of American professional sports. However, they finally won the World Series in 2016, ending the curse of the "Billy Goat."

The Chicago "L" is the second-oldest rapid transit system in the United States, after New York City's subway. The system has eight lines that serve Chicago and its suburbs, and it is used by millions of passengers every year.
