It's kind of funny how people who have never been to the north shore in there entire lives, think they know anything about the North Shore. Yes there are preppy bitchy people, but the vast majority of people here are just normal. There are people with beach houses and yachts, but there are very few of them. I live in Wilmette, and I go to new trier, so I know how it is. My parents aren't going to buy me a car, I work three part time jobs to save up for college. I bike to school, in the middle of the winter. Most of you are just pissed, because you wish you lived here, and you wish our sports teams didn't cream you at every game. I'm not gonna lie, It's a nice place to live, and the people here are very friendly.
And If every one is just going to assume the worst of people here, Then maybe we'll start living up to your expectations.
Person 1: Wow you live on the north shore, you're not as bad as I thought you would be
Person 2: Yeah , we're really not bad people.

day in the life of a north shore 16 year old girl:
wake up, search through their huge closet full of designer clothes. today they feel like dressing more on the downside, what do they put on? a preppy lacoste polo (collar up), with a pair of trendy seven jeans and a juicy sweater. shoes are probably pretty expensive, and to top it all off, tiffany jewelry completes the ensemble. pack your "backpack" (i.e., your herve chaplier big bag). books, kate spade pencil case, louis vuitton planner, prada wallet with their 100s of dollars daily allowance, keys on a coach keychain, cell phone...everything is there. time for school, hop into your bmw and pick up your best accessories, your friends. they are probably wearing similar things than you...all designer, pricey bag, jewels, etc. they don't have their licences yet, but as soon as they do, you'll probably switch off between your bmw and their mercedes and range rovers. school..everyone is the queen bee. everyone has different personalities, but they still have a lot in common with the others- closets full of pricey clothes and high class parents. now that it's the end of the day, its time to go out with your best girls, grab a latte and "do homework". Your so wiped that you go home, chill and go to bed. it will be the same thing tomorrow.
wealth and riches, its all here.

The extremly wealthy north suburbs of Chicago. Well know for its great schools and wealthiness. Some of the greatly recognized schools are New Trier, Glenbrook South, Glenbrook North, and many other schools. The North Shore includes
Kenilworth, Winnetka, Wilmette, Glenview, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Deerfield, and Evanston. Basically, the average costs of these houses are well over 1 million dollars, and some of these propertys are even on the lake. Many kids have all designer clothes and for their sixteenth brithdays get cars such as BMWs, Lexus', Audis, and i have even heard of some getting Lamborghinis. Some 16 year olds even get yachts for their birthdays. This area is full of many bitches that you really don't want to be around, but it also has some nice people.

Surprisingly Milwaukee like Chicago has their own version of the North Shore called well, the North Shore. Consisting of the Milwaukee suburbs of Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Glendale, Brown Deer, River Hills, and Bayside. Some indeed also would throw in the Ozaukee County municipalities of Cedarburg and Mequon. (What kind of place is Ozaukee County? Just imagine a place where Hitler, Martha Stewart, and Felix from 'The Odd Couple' all got their own way. It's that scary.)
Like their counterparts in Chicago's North Shore the residents of Milwaukee's North Shore are very, very white (save for Glendale and Brown Deer, home to Milwaukee's few wealthy blacks that haven't moved back to the South) and very, very wealthy: poor people there are defined as those who have only a 3-series BMW or a C-class Benz. Though home to many 'limousine liberals' that prattle on about the perils and tribulations of minorities and the working class, North Shore residents stand firmly behind their police departments who love nothing better than to hassle black or white working class motorists.
The average North Shore resident has graduated from the greatly overrated Nicolet High School and has never heard anything but utter praise throughout his or her existence. Also prevalent amongst the female population there is a "disease" called bulima: apparently affluence is so difficult that they have to eat perfectly good meals and vomit them up.
I got rich on the market and moved to the North Shore-I was afraid to catch cooties from the blacks.

New York has The Hamptons. Los Angeles has Beverly Hills. We here in Chicago have the North Shore.
The North Shore is a group of suburbs north of Chicago that the majority of line up against Lake Michigan, thus the name "North Shore".
I'm from Chicago, and I will truthfully say that no, not all of the "North Shore" is snobby rich kids. (Like Evanston for instance, is a pretty decent and diverse suburb). However, don't give us the "you're just jealous because you wish you were as rich as us" attitude. Because honestly, it is way cheaper to live in the suburbs than it is to live in the city. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone in Chicago can move to the north shore and buy a mansion. What I'm saying is that if all the rich families in the north shore were to move into the rich neighborhoods of Chicago, they wouldn't even nearly be able to aford the same quality houses they once had.
We don't need you to tell us you're rich. We've seen rich. Chicago has families with more wealth beyond your beliefs, so that's not an issue with us. It's the stuck up attitude that pisses off a lot of Chicago residents. Believe me, We have areas like Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and The Loop. All of which have families with 10 times more cash than your families, so your wealth is nothing of suprise to us.
In Chicago we don't care if you've got a great car, a huge house, or a nice school. Our lives are still more exciting than yours.
A popular band from the North Shore is Fall Out Boy (Even though most out-of-staters have the crazy idea they're from Chicago.)
A popular movie that depicts some of the snootiness in comparison to the normality of the North Shore is Mean Girls
