Tips for living in Chicago Part 2



It is a lot more expensive to be here than Iowa.  You should have sold your car to afford it.
I went to a public school.  If you see a girl taking off her earring I suggest you walk the other way.
The lake is always east.  You don’t need Google maps to tell you that.
The city is on grid.  Some of the streets slope.  It’s not that hard.
Can’t understand the CTA?  There’s an app for that, and it’s time you learned.
Don’t stress about who to vote for.  They throw those ballots away. 
The Chicago accent is associated with white people from the southside (a rapidly assimilating population). Most of us don’t sound like that.
Northern Midwest English is the closet accent to newscaster standard.  We don’t sound funny, you sound funny.
Kanye may be from here, but he clearly forgot Midwest is Best.
Don’t say you’re from here if you’re not from here.  My parents have been here for 40 years and they still say they’re Indiana.
