I say Chi Town and have no plans on stopping.

In fact, imma do a drive by because of it. No guns, no bullets just me screaming it out of a moving vehicle and watching the confused natives scatter helplessly to their blogs and forum to discuss it

I think people from the inner ring suburbs like Park Ridge are more likely to make a distinction between going downtown and going to different parts of the city. However, people further out actually have a tendency to call the entire city "downtown".

When I was a child I didn't like it, and I still don't like it.

I've started calling it Chick-a-go-go lately just to be stupid. Chi-town is something I hear others say who don't live in the city. As far as the-chi - I think that sounds extremely stupid.

Interesting. Check out some of the minor nicknames.

"New Gotham" "Chi-city"

"Beirut by the Lake" ?

I don't think anyone sincerely calls Chicago "New Gotham"... Let's not reach too far.

Chi-town: stupid.
The Chi: stupider.

A 7 page thread on whether either term is annoying: stupidest.
