	Economic Geography
		Chicago's printing and publishing industry, second only to New York's, developed with companies such as R. Donnelley and Sons, which located near the downtown because of the demand for business information and the proliferation of commercial journals.
		Chicago banks had expanded quickly after the Civil War; the city ranked second nationally in banking, manufacturing, wholesaling, and population by the end of the century.
		Chicago businesses reeled during the Great Depression of the 1930s and then boomed because of World War II defense contracts, but the regional shift determined the long-term trend in economic growth and hence in population, and in 1990 Los Angeles surpassed Chicago as the second city in population and wholesaling.

	"Windy City"
		Chicago's exposed location between the Great Plains and the Great Lakes—and the wind swirling amidst the city's early skyscrapers—lend credence to the literal application of this famous nickname dating from the late 1800s, but it is a favorite observation of tour guides and reference books that in fact Chicago's climate is not distinctively windy.
		The power of the name lies in the metaphorical use “windy” for “talkative” or “boastful.” Chicago politicians early became famous for long-windedness, and the Midwestern metropolis's central location as a host city for political conventions helped cement the association of Chicago with loquacious politicians, thus underlying the nickname with double meaning.
		Early uses of the term appear in Cleveland (1885) and Louisville (1886) newspapers, and the 1885 appearance of the label in a headline suggests the possibility that this was not its initial invocation.

		Chicago's revival should not be judged merely by the manifest sparkle of the Loop and such districts as River North, the Gold Coast and Streeterville.
		Chicago is also close to an abundance of coal (to the south) and large deposits of iron (to the north), which in days gone by gave it yet another proud title: steel capital of the world.
		Chicago's expansion in the 19th century, when the population rose from under 30,000 in 1850 to 300,000 in 1870 and 1.1m in 1890, was driven by capitalists red in tooth and claw.

	Bestselling author Michael Fumento reports: "Hot Air in the Windy City."
		Chicago has had its own distinctive brand of politics since 1833, when 11 residents incorporated the town — by a vote of 12-1 (no kidding).

		The fl population in Chicago is projected to rise from 40 percent in the 1983 election to 44 percent in 1987.

		Thompson was the embodiment of the "Whoopee Era" of Chicago politics - a thoroughly corrupted political windbag whose first official act of office was to declare Chicago "wide open" to bootleggers, gunmen, and vice peddlers who were eager to line his ward coffers with generous cash contributions before each election.

	Roosevelt University - History of Chicago - Module 3 Chapter 3
		Chicago in 1946 was "a seething cauldron," according to the Commission, and closer to a major race riot than at any time since 1919.
		At least nine major riots occurred in Chicago between 1947 and 1951, but most were not reported in the press because the editors followed a deliberate policy of not reporting racial strife.
		Chicago politicians did little to ease the way out of the dilemma and in many cases used racial fears to hold on to their own power.
