The Windy City is not on the list, so I would agree that is the answer.

I thought that myself and it would certainly make more sense to ask what was the nickname for NYC, especially given that the NYC reference to The City of Cities relates apparently to a book. Nevertheless I've gone with Windy City. Ho Hum:beer:

I'm inclined to agree.

It may be best to hold off entering ATM, and I'll keep an eye on the website to see if they correct it.

In the meantime I'll email them, and post if I get a reply.

EDIT: email just sent.
