You can always think of Orchard when flying to ORD.

Had a pilot earlier this month announce, "Welcome aboard tonights flight to The Orchard" when doing the pre-flight announcement. Saw a few strange looks around the cabin when he said that. (name comes from Orchard Field)

That said, I just consider ORD to be O'Hare...
