Chicago: known for wind, one of the world's largest furry conventions, and the first American pope.


Actually not known for atmospheric wind, but for bloviating in a windy way.

With the construction of tall city blocks and the breezes off of Lake Michigan, the atmospheric use has become somewhat more true. No more so than most USAmerican cities though.

Pope Leo made it easy for the furries to pick his fursona.
