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.
Hey you guyss, wanna go to the Chicago Bearss game on Sunnay?

Located in the northeast part of the state on Lake Michigan, Chicago is Illinois' largest city and the largest city in the American midwest. Plagued by government corruption, high taxes, unaffordable cost of living, violence and crime Chicago also suffers from a superiority complex by believing it owns all the land and cities therein around the southern 1/3 of Lake Michigan, which of course it does not.
On superiority complex
Chicago resident #1: Hey bud, wanna go to Milwaukee? They got an awesome festival going on right now.

Chicago resident #2: Yeah man let's go to Chicago north and check it out!

On corruption
Chicago resident #1: So did you hear Chicago is the most corrupt city in the U.S?

Chicago resident #2: I heard. I can't afford my rent either so I'm moving to a better place like Indiana or Wisconsin.

On crime
Chicago alone was responsible for half of the nationwide homicide increase in 2016, surpassing even larger cities than itself such as L.A.

A awesome city located in Illinois. It has the world famous Sears Tower and it also has the Hancock building. Many people say it has many gangs, but it really doesn't. Chicago actually has the most nicest people.
John: Chicago has a lot of gangs!

Jeff: Have you ever even been to Chicago? There is barely any gangs and they have very nice people.
