It stands to reason that a city that is commonly referred to as the “Windy City” would be home to a healthy number of roofing companies. You’d think that on any given morning, Chicagoans would awake, survey the scattered shingles lying about, and mutter “another big wind last night, better call a roofer”.
Some people think the name may have come from the fact that the state’s proud people loved to brag long and loud about their wonderful city after it rose again following the devastation of the Great Fire of 1871. That fire killed hundreds of citizens and leveled almost four square miles of the city.
Another possibility is that after the great fire of 1871 the streets were rebuilt in a grid pattern, which many people say made wind tunnels between the tall buildings in the center of town. However statistics on wind speeds in various cities don’t bear this out. Indeed, Boston’s average wind strengths are higher.
Still another source for the name is a bit comical, rather like an old-fashioned newspaper cartoon. It purports that the hot air that is regularly spewed forth by the city’s politicians contributes to increased air currents.
Chicago is also home to many magnificent churches that encompass all the major denominations such as Unitarian, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, and Episcopal, as well as many independent groups. Some of the most famous edifices include Old St. Patricks Church, St. James Episcopal Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, and the Church of the Epiphany.
