OPRF

A HS in Oak Park that has produced many famous alumni. Great fine arts department. In true oak park fashion, their lit mag is better than their football team.

"Did you hear that OPRF was ranked 13th in the state?"
"Well, I'm not surprised! They have college professors traching there!"

Oak Park, IL

The most hipster and pretentious suburb ever. Actually, it shouldn't be called a suburb because no one has a car and every thing is reachable by bike or train or bus (or walking). Oak Park has a reputation as being super liberal and full of hipsters who had kids and moved out of Bucktown. The only grocery stores are whole foods and trader joe's, but most people go to the farmer's market anyway. The public schools are great, but they are infamous for breeding hippie kids who look down on kids from real suburbs as being "uncultured." Oak Park is also the Chicago version of Park Slope.

"I tried going to Oak Park, IL, but was kicked out because of my distaste for kale, lack of culture, and Mitt Romney bumper sticker."
"Good! We can't have close minded conservatives corrupting our children. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a peace vigil to go to."

Oak Park

The urban suburb of Chicago where bilingual montessori toddlers scooter to piano lessons with their nannies, wearing 100% organic cotton clothes and eating locally sourced honey gelato from the farmers market. Basically, the Chicago version of park slope.

That organic juice cafe and waldorf indoor play space is going out of business? move them to Oak Park, they'll do well.
