On a related note. Here's a clip from The Untouchables where Sean Connery's character asks a similar question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ALcqt6GMhM

I've always liked this scene and the question.

Plus, it gives you a feel for Chicago's persona in general and specifically in the days of gangsters. Chicago's official city motto is "“Urbs in Horto” (City in the garden), but the other (unofficial) one is "I will." This comes from the drive to rebuild the city's core after the great fire of 1871. Probably too much trivia, but it's good to love your city. Right?
