"Old" Adelaide Suburbs

[Pseudo]

The Kilburn footy club is still known as the "chics" which comes from the old Chicago name. I think you'll find Al Capone's reputation and association with Chicago caused the change of name.

You sure? I'd heard the change happened because a significant number of letters addressed to Chicago SA were ending up in Chicago USA.

Not sure that the similar name would mean much. When I worked in Ferntree Gully in Melbourne a letter from elsewhere in Ferntree Gully got to me via the UK, "Redirected by Royal Mail".
As far as I know there is no Ferntree Gully in the UK to have triggered that.
