Yes. Yes it is. Feel free to take a job in Oak Brook and get an apartment in Lakeview. Your commute will be a cinch.

I know that, I was just joking.

Sarcasm is tough to detect on online forums.

Since the beginning days of Chicago, Chicago the term, actually encompassed the city limits and the surrounding suburbs and environs. But that's when most people where humble and knew their roots. Now, most of the suburbs once affiliated with the term Chicago and any history is almost forgotten by the residences. Each developed its own identity and seems as distant as its proximity.

Easy, Steve-o. The guy was just trying to play along.

This is that brusque Chicago attitude your mother warned you about, OP. Chicagoans are pleasant as pie until you start asking questions they think you should know the answer to.

And supernerdgirl... nice map! What's a guy gotta do to get a map around here? I say you make us ALL maps next time you're bored.
