HAHA...this is a good site!! I have lived in and around Chicago my whole life and some of those things are new to me. Especially the nickname for Michigan Ave.

Something like this that my husband and I were talking about not to long ago is how Chicagoians measure distance. Around here we measure distance in time, while most others measure in miles. For example, when asked how far it took to get from one place to another the usual response here is 10 minutes instead of 10 miles.
