Is Buffalo Grove considered North Shore?

And I don't believe all those people are Jewish.



I don't know how you can think you're not being sterotypical. And why are you separating out a certain segment of the population in Buffalo Grove? There are other ethnicities/religions/etc. that live there as well.

And to answer the OP, Buffalo Grove might not be located near the North Shore, but it is North West and close to the 90 if you need it. There's plenty of shopping and I've heard the schools (don't have kids) are good. It's clean and more modestly priced than some of the suburbs surrounding it. And I haven't met any pretentious people, Jewish or otherwise, from Buffalo Grove.

My statements I guess were a little inappropriate. However I would not have said anything about Jewish people, UNLESS Jewish people I know have said nearly identical things. I have a friend that said joking "I'm Jewish, so roughing it for me means the Holiday Inn, without cable TV." So I take that as "well, I should have the right to repeat that, even I'm not Jewish or whatever.

About Highland, I have known people from there. I guess I'm basing it more on the fact the houses are mostly older, smaller, and more subdued and in the trees, so it seems less "conspicuous" than Buffalo Groves tacky, new large homes.

Sorry - this is complete BS, This is not a governing body of these communities, we have our own village boards for that. Plus most of the real north shore communities do not belong to this group. Pleeeeze - you must work for this group. I guess I missed my invitation to the Kenilworth/Winnetka/Libertyville Pig Roast. Please explain how this group"governs" the North Shore". And how it brings the communities together.

You must work for this organiztion. Do you even know what "governing body" means? A branch of government. Sorry. I have a village board, and Cook county board, as well as other state bodies, but a convention center does not govern my village.

Please back up your statements with some proof.

Okay, I just looked at this groups website. It identifies the communities it serves as Evanston, Glenview, Northbrook, Skokie & Wilmette. It offers media info on these communites, and lists businesses one may contact.

No info on how it governs the greater North Shore area. Nor on how it brings all of these communities together. I think NUguy works for this group and is trying to get relo people to check out the site.

OP - Buffalo Grove is not NS - but the people I know who live there like it very much.
