windy city
Gust-swept urban area
Windy City is a nickname for Chicago, Illinois.
The name may refer to the city's lakefront breezes, though it more likely originated from 19th-century descriptions of Chicago's boastful politicians and promoters—full of hot air.
I'm heading to the Windy City for a conference next week.
