Yeah, but this says it's "At the skunk place".

Either way, I've never been to Chicago so I don't think I've ever heard either.

My wife's best friend lives in "Ears of sweet corn," TX. In fact, we've visted there often and almost moved there before. It's only a few miles from where we used to live on the outskirts of San Antonio. Their big annual civic celebration is an event called CORNYVAL.

Bob, if Cornyval didn't already exist, you'd have made it up.
