I dunno who thinks Chicago is pronounced the way it is here , but they obviously aren't from the City in a Garden. Yeah, many people pronounce it "Chi-cah-go," now. But if you are a white ethnic of a certain age or neighborhood the correct way to say it is "Chi-caw-go." Watch old movies from the 30s and 40s and you'll see that was the way it was spoken. I blame the New York based radio and TV media convincing the world that it is "Chi-cah-go." If you wanna talk like a real neighborhood Chicawgoan make an "s" sound at the end of plurals, don't use the "z" sound.
