The "Boroughs" of your city

[Drover]

Yes I'm sure you didn't read it because you'd hate to have to know you're wrong yet again.

Notice she COMPARED IT to Lawrenceville. Didn't say it was a PART of Lawrenceville, or the city, though she did say it "should be" considered a part of the city even as she acknowledged that it isn't. Thanks for playing.

Stop the presses! Everyone jump over to the Pittsburgh forum and look at his OWN STATEMENTS about the borough of Sharpsburg! You said to her, "I get what you're saying, if it wasn't for the river, it'd be hard to tell where Pittsburgh stops and Sharpsbug begins". Those are YOUR words, not mine! Now how is that a suburb now? You just proved my statement about people not considering the boroughs of Pittsburgh to be "suburbs"!

Lawerenville is VERY urban, so how would it be hard to tell the difference?.... Maybe cause MY statements are VERY accurate!...

I didn't realize that you would make it so easy to prove your statements wrong, I do thank you for doing so.... I doubt I'll make any more comments on either of the two forums concerning this topic. Why would I, you ended it with your own words an admission, to my surprise I may add! Thanks agian........

Who said Shapsburg was the city? I said the boroughs are an in-between if you will. I was born and raised there (unlike you), I know the city! Later my man...........

My God you are dull. Correcting your every post has gotten so tiresome that it's just not worth the bother any more. Even a rat will eventually stop running through a maze that has no exit.

Wow. Pitt. I'm so glad you're around to enlighten us all with your semi-literate ramblings.

The best writers, actors, improv comedians, etc., say that the best way to play a convincing rube is to have the idiot speak as if it is he, in fact, that knows all, and everyone else is either confused or stupid.

You've mastered it, Pitt. Congratulations.

This is my question: if your city had "boroughs," what would they be? Feel free to use your own rationalization, but please give your reasoning. Should be interesting.

For Chicago, I would say that ours would be: North Side (everything north of River North all the way to Rogers Park and west to O'Hare), South Side (South Loop down to the IL/IN Border (including the "East Side" neighborhood), West Side (Greektown/West Loop all the way out to Garfield Park and the border with Oak Park, and Downtown (the Loop, River North, Printers Row, Gold Coast, etc).

New York boros are in fact counties with few million people each. Chicago is too small to have boros or counties within the city.
