Chicago: The City That's Trying Really Hard to Have a Slogan
Let's talk about Chicago, shall we? The Windy City, the Second City, the City of Big Shoulders – and apparently, the City That Can't Decide on a Slogan. It’s like trying to pick a favorite child when you have four equally bratty kids named Deep Dish Pizza, Hot Dogs, Architecture, and Blues Music.
A Slogan Saga
You'd think a city as iconic as Chicago would have a slogan as memorable as its skyline. But nope. Over the years, we've had some contenders. There was "Chicago: The City That Works," which sounds more like a job application than a catchy phrase. And then there's "Chicago: Not in Chicago," which is like a magician saying, "Abracadabra, poof, you're not here!" We're still scratching our heads on that one.
The Search for the Perfect Phrase
So, what would you choose as Chicago's slogan? "Chicago: Where the Pizza is Deep and the People are Deeper"? Or maybe "Chicago: So Good, We Named It Twice"? Let's be honest, any slogan is going to be a tough act to follow after "I Will." That's like trying to top a superhero origin story.
But hey, maybe we don't need a slogan. Maybe Chicago is just so awesome, it speaks for itself. Like, who needs words when you have the Bean, Navy Pier, and a never-ending supply of Italian beef? Just saying.
