Yea, I hate it when people from the coasts look at the Midwest and think "boring!" It's like "Have you ever even been here?!" But anyways I get a laugh when tourists come here and say "Wow, it's so cold and windy!" and I'm thinking "Why do you think it's called the windy city, you dope" Ha

Its not called the Windy City due to its wind currents.
