vulpalasar: While I can't speak for Thales, I think she was using the question about snacks as a transition into a play on onions (which is what the name of the city is derived from). Where you got weed from, I'm not sure....

Actually it was our public transportation system that was named after the band...

I'm not one to complain about Chicagoist's writing style or attitude, but I have to say I'm bothered by the assumption that only someone high on weed would wonder about something like this. Are you people really that uninquisitive? Don't you ever just wonder why for the hell of it?

I always assumed we were named after the band.
