You see, itâs not that we Chicagoans are extremely particular people; we just donât consider it correct for someone from Naperville, Elgin, or Deerfield, Illinois, to say theyâre from Chicago when they truly arenât. You donât hear people from some little town in California saying they live in L.A. or people from a small city in New York saying they live in New York City. You are not from Chicago; rather, you live near Chicago
"I'm from outside Chicago" " BRUH...you're from Evanston..."
