Hello!

here are some 'nicknames' of chicago to help you:

1. "Mud City" – possibly the oldest nickname for the city, referring to the fact that the terrain of the city used to be a mud flat.

2. "Chi-Town" (pronounced Shy-Town) – also used for the hockey teams Chi-Town Shooters and Chi-Town Shamrocks

3. "Second City" – by one possible etymology, this refers to the fact that Chicago had the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States from 1889 to 1984 (Los Angeles is now larger).

4. "City of (the) Big Shoulders" – taken from the fifth line of Carl Sandburg's poem "Chicago". Also sometimes said as "City of Broad Shoulders".

5. "City by the Lake" – used as early as the 1890s.

I hope that this has helped you ♥
