I'm new here and a little hesitant to start a topic. But how many of you actually live IN Chicago? Schaumburg, Downers Grove, Plainfield, ect.. does not count. BigAl was born and raised on the North side of Chicago in the Edgewater neighborhood. I briefly lived in the South Loop and was amazed how many Bear flags I saw hanging off new condo buildings.

Warden, I'm curious what makes you a Bear fan then? Just curious is all.

Grew up in NW Indiana, pretty close to the city. Central IL after that. Live in FL now. Tons of Bears fans around here. I saw 5 at the grocery store earlier today when I was buying beer and snacks before the game.

I do not live in Chicago. I hope this doesn't discredit my fandom.
