Also, I loved this reminder that Chicago owes a lot to Haiti (namely, its first founding father, Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable).

Speaking of phrasing, Hec, thought you might enjoy another colloquialism I heard recently: The rain was "coming down like piss out of a boot." Speaker is Georgia native (not sure what part) in his 50s.
I suspect this is conflating "couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel" and "raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."
