The successful arrival to my destination
I live in Evanston now--the people who live here enjoy pointing out that it is NOT CHICAGO because it's better than ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH SO THERE!!! Whatever, we live 5 blocks from Chicago. Evanston does have much nicer trees than any of the surrounding communities though, so I guess that's something to brag about.

I plan to write a more substantial update in the near future. Maybe it will even have pictures or something. No music, though, because I hate when websites have music.

I guess the different surrounding cities/townships each have a distinct feel to them, so I can see why you would try to clarify what makes your city NOT CHICAGO. However, I would think this also applies to the different neighborhoods in Chicago. I will try to figure out if the people who live within the Chicago city limits make it a point to clarify that they live in a certain neighborhood. Maybe the people who don't live in Chicago don't want to be associated with the "bad" neighborhoods or something...kind of like when I clarify that although I lived in Kansas, I lived in Lawrence, KS, which is NOT THE REST OF KANSAS.
