In the case of Chicago, it may have been the combination of pioneering efforts in color TV (e.g. the all-color local studio of WNBQ in 1956) and the fact that so many television manufacturers were based in (and actually assembled the sets in) Chicago.
Even considering those factors, the number of color roundies mentioned on this forum being in or from Chicago is wildly disproportional.
