Once you do get them figured out, they change the names.  I still
haven't quite gotten over the Calumet being called the (Bishop) Ford
now.  And didn't they rename the East-West Tollway at some point?
(Wikipedia says that it's now the Ronald Reagan Tollway.)

Unlike in Boston, the Chicago radio traffic people seem to adopt the
new names fairly quickly.
