Bru and Steve-o << master of all things Suburban. Let's let some other young apprentices find the missing ones. As the self-proclaimed guru of Suburbia, I hereby declare the boundaries as St. Charles (West), the IL/Wisconsin border (North), Mokena (South) and the IL/Indiana border (East). I will never, in this lifetime, call Sycamore and Courtland suburbs, and I will never refer to anything in Indiana as a suburb either, unless Gary someday gentrifies!

We should draw the border at 47 for the western burbs as Wasco, Elburn, etc are west of St. Charles and are most definitely what I consider suburbs.

So be it, brave sir knight. Free $5 TGI Friday's gift certificate to the first apprentice who can hit 275.

There are many Chicago suburbs in Indiana!

Well, we're at 234 suburbs. Thats incredible!!!! Are there any other cities that have even remotely that many 'burbs? Maybe L.A.? In any case, thats mind boggling. I bet there are some entire states that dont even have that many cities.

Actually, there is one state that doesn't have any cities. Care to guess which one? This is a legit question, it's one of our 50 states.

Randall road should be the west boundary line. At least that's what it was before sprawl happened.

How can there be no cities in a state??- I'm intrigued... and unconvinced

Im gonna guess that theyre "towns" (not cities) and my guess would be, um, one of the Hawaiian islands? I wouldve guesses Rhode Island or maybe Alaska, but Im pretty sure that Providence and Anchorage are cities.

I'm going to guess Maine - don't they call their urban areas 'townships'?
