Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Chicago ( /ʃɨˈkɑːɡoʊ/ (help·info) or /ʃɨˈkɔːɡoʊ/) is the largest city in both Illinois and the Midwest, and the third most populous city in the United States, with over 2.8 million residents. Its metropolitan area, commonly named "Chicagoland", is the 26th most populous in the world, home to an estimated 9.7 million people spread across the U.S. states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Chicago is primarily located within Cook County, with the exception of a small northwestern portion of the city at O'Hare International Airport that is located within DuPage County. Chicago was founded in 1833, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. The Potawatomi were forcibly removed from their land following the Treaty of Chicago. The city became a major transportation and telecommunications hub in North America. Today, the city retains its status as a major hub, both for industry and infrastructure, with O'Hare International Airport being the second busiest airport in the world. In 2008, the city hosted 45.6 million domestic and overseas visitors. In modern times, the city has taken on an additional dimension as a center for business and finance and is listed as one of the world's top ten Global Financial Centers. Chicago is a stronghold of the Democratic Party and has been home to many influential politicians, including the current President of the United States, Barack Obama. The World Cities Study Group at Loughborough University rated Chicago as an "alpha world city" due to Chicago's important role in the global economic system. In a 2010 survey collaboration between Foreign Policy and A.T Kearney ranking the world's top global cities, Chicago ranked 6th behind Paris and Hong Kong and above Los Angeles and Singapore. The ranking asseses five dimensions: value of capital markets, diversity of human capital, international information resources, international cultural resources, and political influence. Globally recognized, Chicago has numerous nicknames, which reflect the impressions and opinions about historical and contemporary Chicago. The best known include: "Chi-town", "Windy City", "Second City", and the "City of Big Shoulders". Chicago has also been called "the most American of big cities". From Wikipedia under the

Q. When I watch a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago I notice that most of the games are played during the daytime instead of nighttime. Although Wrigley Field was the last stadium to get stadium lights, the Cubs play most of their games during the day. Is there a reason why most of the baseball games at Wrigley Field are played during the day time? Asked by Mr. Knowledgeable VI - Fri Mar 28 00:00:51 2008 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments A. You know Wrigley didn't play night games until 1988. There was a major hold-out from Wrigley (the gum people), who wanted to maintain the original characteristic of baseball, being played in natural sunlight. "The boys of summer" are best viewed in sunlight...I agree. Also, Wrigley Field is in a residential neighborhood, and they didn't want the night games to disturb the peace there. Once ownership changed, there was a major push to install lights, but the city of Chicago had banned night games. After MLB threatened to take away all post season home games and the owners threatened to move the team, the lights were turned on. The city finally acquiesced to the demand and allowed limited night games.

Q. How many hospitals are in Chicago and which ones are the best ones? I will soon be an RN and want to work in a good hospital in the Chicago area. I have never been to Chicago so I do not know what it is like there, where I will live, or how far away my workplace would be. What are your experiences with the Chicago hospitals? Asked by Alyssa - Thu May 29 19:15:23 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are 215 hospitals in Chicago. Northwestern Hospital and the University of Chicago Hospital are both very nice, but I think you would like being a nurse at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital. It is in a relatively safe neighborhood on the north side of the city and it is a teaching hospital.
