chicago is central time, one hour behind eastern time, so 6:45 est is 5:45 in chicago
I m pretty sure Eastern Time is 1 hour ahead of Chicago time, so 5:45
It would be 5:45 in Chicago. Chicago is now on Central Standard Time and Eastern Standard time is one hour ahead of us.
Second answer is WRONG. I live in the same time zone (St. Louis) and it is currently 5:35 here.
Being in Chicago you are one hour behind Eastern time, so 5:45
PARTY TIME! (5:45)
