I never been to Chicago.....Why do they call it the windy city... whats all tha hype about the Sears Tower...shiiit here in Dallas some people reconoize the building with the Ball on the end (with the lights) Well thats called Reunion Tower FYI hmmmmmM!!! :rock:

Chicago 101:

The Windy City is not called the Windy City because of the wind (average about 10 mph on a daily basis). It's political. The coin was termed by, I think, reporters, because of how much Chicago politicians talked.

The hype with the Sears Tower is that it formerly held the "world's tallest building" record. Skyscrapers were born in Chicago. It's unbelievable how many world-renowned architects either started or designed prominent buildings here in Chicago.

By the way....the World's Tallest Building is in Taipei, Taiwan. "Taipei 101" is 101 stories tall and 508 meters high (1666 feet).

You sound like you should be running a tour bus.

[DJDarknez]

I should. My Trailblazer has the third row seat, I could give tours to eldery Chinese people. They could pay me in yen.

they'd give u like 1,000,000 yen and watch it be converted to only a dollar lol

[DJDarknez]

I'd be like "yeah, i'm rich!" and get the dollar.

then I'd be sad.

[JoeySkillz]

sad.. yes..very.....sad... indeed

I've only been to the airport in Chicago, its huge and intimidating :(

[DJDarknez]

O'Hare is actually pretty easy to get around in. ATL is a BITCH, there are 7 seperate terminals and the ONLY way to get from one to the other is walk a LOOOOOOOOONG way or take a little tram.

[CajunGuy]

I hate the Atlanta airport!!! Its so freaking crowded and people are just d!cks there!
