Ibuye ibe namaqembu ezemidlalo ezemidlalo ezinkulumweni eziningi zezobuchwepheshe ezinkulu. I-Chicago ineziqubulo eziningi, owaziwa kakhulu yi-Windy City
Windy City
Okuyinhloko yokuchaza isidlaliso sesikhathi eside sedolobha, yiqiniso, isimo sezulu. Incazelo yokuthi iChicago ibe yindawo evulekile ngokwemvelo yukuthi kusezintabeni zaseLake Michigan.
Iziphephelo zamaFrigid ziphuma eLwandle laseMichigan futhi zidabula emigwaqweni yedolobha. Umoya waseChicago uvame ukubizwa ngokuthi "i-Hawk."
Kodwa-ke, enye inkolelo ethandwayo ikhona ukuthi "i-Windy City" yaqala ukukhuluma nezakhamuzi zaseChicago ezingaphezu kwezepolitiki nezombangazwe, ezazibhekwa "zigcwele umoya oshisayo." Abaxhasi be-"windbag" umbono ngokuvamile baveza isihloko se-1890 Umhleli wephephandaba i-New York Sun uCharles Dana. Ngaleso sikhathi, iChicago yayinomncintiswano neNew York ukusingatha i-World Fair Fair yango-1893 (iChicago yagcina inqobe), kanti uDana kuthiwa wayexwayise abafundi bakhe ukuba banganaki "izimangalo ezingenasisekelo zalowo muzi onomoya onamandla." Abaningi manje bayakuyeka lokho inganekwane.
Umcwaningi uBarry Popik uye wathola ubufakazi bokuthi leli gama selivele lisungulwe ngokunyatheliswa ngawo-1870 - eminyakeni eminingana ngaphambi kweDana. I-Popik iphinde ibambe izingcaphuno ezibonisa ukuthi isebenza ngokubili ngokubhekiselele kwesimo sezulu saseChicago nesimo sezulu esingokomfanekiso kubakhamuzi bayo abaziqhenya. Njengoba iChicago yayisetshenzisile isetshenziselwa ukuphefumula i-lake lake, i-Popik nabanye baphetha ngokuthi igama elithi "Windy City" lingase liqale njengoba libhekisela esimweni sezulu bese lithathwa ngokuphindwe kabili njengoba iphrofayli yomuzi yavuka ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi nakuba iChicago kungenzeka ukuthi ithole isiteketiso sayo ngengxenye ngenxa yemimoya yayo enamandla, akuyona idolobha elikhulu lamazwe ase-United States. Eqinisweni, ukuhlolwa kwezemvelo kuye kwavame ukulinganisa okwenziwe eBoston, eNew York naseSan Francisco njengoba kunesimo esiphezulu sevolumu esiphezulu.
