whoa, whoa, whoa! stop right there! ya know there are ppl on this site from chicago (i’m one of them and i’m proud of it!). lets back track. first of all: if you live out of chicago, then chicago is out of town. just like to us here in chicago NY is out of town- believe it or not! to us NY is out of town! (sorry, are you feeling a little put down? didn’t mean to cause you NYers any undue shame)
second of all, with this nerdy bit- watch what you say. hilchos lashon hara- even if its a joke, and even if its not about a specific person, but rather a group of ppl, its lashon hara.
i would like to say that FL613 is right (thank you, FL!) chicagoans are very warm and friendly ppl full of chesed at all times. we are open minded, welcoming ppl with a true love of torah, and as a side point we’re not (for the most part- i cant say this about every single person, but u’ll find it anywhere) we are NOT pressured to be like everyone else. there is less competition to try to be better than the next person and there is less of needing every new stupid thing that comes out. like i said, it’s not everyone, but most. I LOVE CHICAGO! my friends from OOT know that i never stop talking about how much i love chicago. its a really nice place! if you haven’t been here yet, you gotta come!
