Name the City - #3?

[AviatorTom]

This is a question in the series on Cities of the World. Each question contains several things about a city and the goal is to guess what city that is. Unlike the country questions, there is no starting letter hint. We'll try to have a new question each day.

Hint: The city may or may not be one of the cities in the picture.

Things about this city:

* This city is not its country's capital

* The city is located on a large fresh-water body of water

* The city is known for having a Great Fire

* It's third in population in its country

* Hillary Clinton was born in this city

* It's the railroad capital and hub of its country

* Twinkies were invented here

* It's sometimes called "The Windy City"

* The first elevated railway was built here

* The first building considered to be a skyscraper was built here

Please don't cheat by looking it up or looking at other peoples' opinions and guesses. Make your best guess.

If you think you know what city this is, make your guess in an opinion below.

Good luck! And HAVE FUN!

The correct answer will be given in a few days (Friday).

This one was pretty easy... just about everyone got it.
The correct answer is Chicago, Illinois, United States

Some details...
The body of water is Lake Michigan
The 1871 fire leveled over 3 sq mi of Chicago
New York and Los Angeles are 1 and 2 in population
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operates "The EL"
The Tacoma Building was the world's first skyscraper in 1889

Large freshwater lake and great fire pretty much gave this away. It's also famous for it's blues music.

Try this one. https://virtualvacation.us/guess Some of these are very difficult since there is very little to give it away unless you just happen to be familiar with the city. It's usually pretty easy to narrow it down just by the language you see and hear. Beyond that it depends on knowing or guessing specific landmarks. I've spent a fair amount of time "walking" through these cities. It's slow, so a lot of people probably don't have the patience to do it. I've found some very nice looking cities this way also.

Possibly Chicago, LA, Dallas, etc. Those are some of USA’s most populous non-capital cities. New York is the first most populous, so not it. I know that it’s in USA, because Hillary Clinton ran for president at least twice and one must be born in USA to get elected.

Chicago. The "Windy City" clue was WAY too much of a giveaway and spoiled the answer. But so did the "Great Fire" clue.

[TheUniqueOne96]
