Keeping The Roof On In The Windy City
It stands to reason that a city that is commonly referred to as the “Windy City” would be home to a healthy number of roofing companies. You’d think that on any given morning, Chicagoans would awake, survey the scattered shingles lying about, and mutter “another big wind last night, better call a roofer”.
There are three main ideas as to how Chicago Illinois earned this moniker. Being a northern state, the winds certainly do blow, especially in the cold and blustery winter months off Lake Michigan. In summer the cooling breezes off the lake are enjoyed by vacationers.
A story ran in the Chicago Republican that a cow in a barn had kicked a lantern, which began a small fire that quickly enveloped the entire barn. From there it spread rapidly, burning from October 8 to October 10. About twenty-three years later, the writer of the article said he had made the story up.
Still another source for the name is a bit comical, rather like an old-fashioned newspaper cartoon. It purports that the hot air that is regularly spewed forth by the city’s politicians contributes to increased air currents.
Chicago is also home to many magnificent churches that encompass all the major denominations such as Unitarian, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, and Episcopal, as well as many independent groups. Some of the most famous edifices include Old St. Patricks Church, St. James Episcopal Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, and the Church of the Epiphany.
