WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Chicagoland
Jim Cunningham joined Marquette in the past few months from Columbus' Casto. We share an Ohio background and a Chicago newbie status with him and found ourselves wondering where the term Chicagoland comes from. We decided it must have been the work of a broker or developer. Tell us your stories about Chicago's nomenclature. What do you know about where Chicagoland came from? What havoc has the Windy City wrought on your hair? What about other neighborhood, town, or building names? We'd love to hear your stories and thoughts and we've included our email addresses below for your convenience.
