Hmm...I'm going to give it to you just for that effort, Matt. Stupid me for not looking first.
The answer I had in mind was that they were pre-release names for versions of Windows. Chicago was released as Windows 95, Cairo as Windows NT 4.0 and Nashville was meant to be the next generation after Windows 95, though I think it ended up being just Internet Explorer 4.0. (I realize that might sound overly obscure, but the names were in wide use in the techie field.)

Ah, an easy one! I'll let someone else take a shot at it, though.

Matthew, it doesn't look like anyone else is taking it, you might as well.

I will as soon as I think of another question. In the meantime, the floor remains open for someone else to jump in.

That may be true, but not the triad I was going for.
Repeating the triad for a new page:
Cary Grant
John Wayne
Jayne Mansfield
Hint: Their biographies might give a clue

None of them acted under their real names? (Although Jayne Mansfield almost did...)

Okay then. This one might (or might not! Not sure) be easy, but I've been wanting to use it for a while:
Bowl of soup
Salt shaker
Polaroid picture

Hint: you may already have thought of the answer for this one. The thought that popped into your head when you saw the third item on the list may just be the actual answer to the question.

Things you shake to an Outkast song. (Of course, you really don't WANT to shake a bowl of soup.)

Close enough. They're all things you can shake it like.
("Shake it like a bowl of soup" from 'Shake' by Sam Cooke; "Shake it like a salt shaker" from "Shake It Like a Salt Shaker" by the Ying Yang Twins; "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" from 'Hey Ya' by Outkast.)
Go ahead.
