Chicago did you know?
Some more Chicago facts for the statistically minded:
Did you know the windy city is home to the busiest roadway in the world? The 14 lane Dan Ryan Expressway carries 300,000 vehicles daily. Running from Downtown through the south side of the city.
Many airports fight over the title for the world's busiest airport. Pre-1998 Chicago's O'Hare International was recognised as having the most passenger traffic but in 2004 O'Hare carried 75,373,888 passengers, more than Heathrow (67,343,960) but now less than the Hartsfield Jackson airport in Atlanta, which carried 83,578,906.
Did you know that Chicago was the birthplace of Walt Disney (1901), Ernest Hemmingway (1899), Quincy Jones (1933), Hugh Hefner (1926) and Michael Flatley (1958)! ¶ 14:05
