No matter how far away you go for college, living near the windy city still had an impact on you! Here are 20 tastes of home aka signs you’re from the suburbs of Chicago:
40ish minutes away is close enough, right? Besides, no one knows where your town is, anyway.
Busted!
You’ve become a pro at layering, and Chicago weather has got nothing on you! You can never pack away your winter clothes because you never know what’s going to hit next!
Nothing beats Chicago sports, especially when your team is the best.
A necessary evil.
When someone mentions Chicago-style food, you think of Portillo’s.
Maybe you’ve even ditched school for a day in the city.
You love your Chicago team, and no one can convince you otherwise!
It’s embarrassing now, but you remember being proud to see your name (and/or picture!) in print.
Sometimes it’s fun to feel like a tourist so close to home.
And you roll your eyes whenever anyone else calls it the Willis Tower.
You always stop to check out the decorations at Macy’s and grab a snack at the Christkindlmarket.
“I don’t have an accent!”
And gotten lost in some of the exhibits.
You know LouMalnati’s has the best!
But it still beats driving.
