I would do my report on the origin of the deep dish, Chicago style pizza. It will, of course, require some field work.

The Daley machine, his current gun grabbing exploits

You could also do the way chicago did voting during the nixon/Humphrey campains. Puts flordia to shame.

u can write about how chicago was the main epicenter for slaughterhouses in the US in the early 1900's. the slaughterhouses were a part of the first vertical integration of a company in which most of the western cow towns were connected to.
