Ha! I know a few people who think like that. Chicago doesn't exist north of Addison, south of Roosevelt Road, or west of Southport in their mind. I worked with a person like that once, when I told her where I lived (at the time I lived in Albany Park), she looked at me perplexed, twirled her Kate Spade bag around and asked, in that annoying valley girl sort of way, 'is that, like, in the suburbs or something?" When I told her 'no', she countered with "I, like, don't really consider that Chicago". At which point I said "of course, you are right, Albany Park is really in Wisconsin". Heh.
