It's movie magic. Chicago was not awesome at all, originally. I mean, how awesome can shoulders really be? There's a reason Upton Sinclair wrote depressing books about the place. But in the late seventies Dan Akroyd and John Belushi filmed "The Blues Brothers" there, making it mostly cool. Ten years later, John Hughes' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" completed the job and made Chicago totally awesome.
