A homophone to think about!

I have discovered a new homophone (group of words that sound the same but mean different things)!
Grimmest.
Grimaced!

The end.

Chicago Trivia time

I learned some stuff while visiting the etymology page of Chicago stuff at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymologies_of_place_names_in_Chicago,_Illinois

I am a huge fan of trivia, and try to incorporate it into my daily conversations. I cannot wait to toss some of these in...

Chicago is from the Miami-Illinois word "Shikaakwa," which means "wild onion." So to all you haters who say I am super Chicago-y when I say chi-CAAA-go instead of Chi-CAW-go, you are the one pronouncing it wrong.

George Street--Settler Sam George sighted the last bear in Chicago at the corner of Adams and LaSalle Streets in 1834. The bear was promptly killed by another settler, John Sweeney.
