Do You Live In Actual Chicago?

[FrankieLyrical]

Yep, I live on the south side

 

[CRM 114]

Nope and I don't claim that I do like some people in this board.

 

[Aesopian]

But what about your high school football team you said you were on?

What about it?

 

[BigAl1965]

I set multiple high school football record and played for a Big 10 college. I was suppose to be drafted into the NFL but fell a little short. I had a bad reputation with alcohol and drugs.

Nope. I live in the "other" Illinois....

 

[Warrior Spirit]

Live in NY. As a child I refused to be forced to be either a Jets or Giants fan so I chose the Bears.

I'm in Ohio, but majority of my family is from Gary Indiana. So grew up with my family as bears fans, so just kind of inherited it.

I went to a "inner city" high school on the North side of Chicago where I played various football positions and All Star pitcher. Picture a white Bo Jackson. I caught a scholarship to a Big 10 college and flunked out.

Family was from south side of Chicago. My grandma owned a little diner called Mary's Diner. I'm from Indiana but whole family have always been Chicago sports fans.

 

[BigAl1965]

Very few of you are from actual Chicago. Very interesting.

The low rises or the high rises??

 

[Mikeropod]

Northern Indiana, essentially the far east suburbs. Doesn't matter where folks are from anyways. Better to be a Bears fan, than to like the Cowboys and Atlanta Braves.

I use to buy drugs in the "Ickes Homes". Cabrini-Green was far from the worst housing projects in Chicago.

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.

Lived in the actual city for a couple of years, grew up in the burbs. I've spent more than half my life outside the Chicago area now but it still feels like home.
