FYI: FOUR "Windy City" errors in Chicago Tribune

   Professor Gerald Cohen's compiling this, so I should get it right.  The Chicago Tribune did not make one, two, or three errors.
   I apologize to all.
   There were FOUR "Windy City" errors in the Chicago Tribune recently.  The Tribune's Public Editor has never responded.
   (This list of four does not include the recent uncorrected errors in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Detroit Free Press, and Columbus Dispatch.)

   New York Sun editor Charles A. Dana coined the term "Windy City" while describing the competition between New York City, Chicago, Washington, D. C. and St. Louis for the right to host the fair.

   In fact, it was during this competition that Chicago earned its Windy City nickname.

_Hi Tom,_
  _How did Chicago get its name "The Windy CIty"?_
_Suleman Suleman, Chicago_
Dear Suleman,
   The wind does blow in Chicago, but not enough to earn it the nickname of the "Windy City."  That moniker was bestowed on the city by the New York press in the late 1800s.  According to the Chicago Public Library, Chicago and New York were competing to host the 1893 Columbian Exposition, and the Chicago politicians were loudly boasting their city's virtues.  Charles Dana, of the New York Sun, wrote an editorial against Chicago hosting the fair by advising against the "nonsensical claims of that _windy city_."  This editorial is credited as the origin of Chicago's famous nickname.
   Chicago's average annual wind speed of 10.4 m.p.h., while respectable, only places it about 15th in the national ranking.  The windiest city in the U.S. is Blue Hill, Massachusetts (10 miles south of Boston) at 15.5 m.p.h.
(NOTE:  The Chicago Public Library has told me it will change the information on its web site--ed.)

WEATHER WORD
_Windy City:_  In 1893, New York Sun editor Charles Dana, tired of hearing Chicagoans boasting of the huge success of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, dubbed Chicago the "Windy City."
