You Know You Are A Chicagoian If... Lets make our own!!...
i'll start it off with the obvious ones:
You measure distance in minutes
You call the living room the frontroom, pronounced fronchroom
You don't say the full name of what you want to order
"I want a beef"
"polish"
"char dog"
You park in the middle of two spots whenever possible ...
Chicago Police told you to handle the issue yourself.
You have to learn Spanish to order food from any fast food joint...
You have driven on the shoulder...Today
You have seen a homeless man **** on the CTA
Red Lights are just another shade of yellow (***** you traffic cameras)
what ya guys got???

Whever you refer to a cultural thing, you start with "Da"
Da' Bulls or Da' Bears.
You own a "Crook County" T-Shirt
You shiver when you realize you have to take the CTA instead of the Metra
When you want to see an exotic, you know you have to go Downtown.
When you see rims on a car, you know you're in a rough part of town.
You can drive 5 minutes in a straight line and go through 2 rough and 2 rich parts of town.
You wouldn't know an honest politician if he slapped you upside the head.
You don't **** with the Police.......because they never come.
You wish you had a 6-Speed when on the Dan Ryan. (I Have To Turn 2.5k rpm in the LEFT lane with my A4)
You don't even listen to the weather.
You wish the women were hotter and not so money hungry.
You dread going to the north side around Halsted.
You're used to bending over.
And While I'm posting....anybody want to go for a drive?..I'm bored out of my mind right now.

You know you are from Chicago if...
-If you know when the Cubs/Bears/Sox are playing so you can decide whether to take 90/94 that day.
-You put the heater on in the morning, and then have the AC full blast in the afternoon in your car.
-You leave a chair out to claim your spot that you shoveled out on the street after a snow storm.
-You spend $300 on fireworks every year that you illegally brought over from IN, and then you light them in full view of the popo.
-You have been yelled at by CPD a number of times but have never gotten a moving violation because they can't be bothered.
-You have all the big potholes memorized.
-After a big rain storm you can count on big pubbles of standing water, and some viaducts under the Ravenswood are undriveable unless you have a lifted 4x4.
-You can have public housing, a McD's, and a million dollar house all within a stones throw of each other.
