Hey friends I've been to Chicago literally hundreds of times between dating a girl for six years that went to Northwestern, my brother living in Wrigleyville, my other brother living in Oak Park and then dating a girl from Naperville for ten years. My own opinion on Chicago's plucky blue collar attitude will I keep. It was endearing when I was 20, now it comes off as MAGA idiocy with a side of antivax disinformation and way too strong blockheaded opinions about everything

I love Chicago but man I gotta agree everyone there seems like a dick compared to LA, somehow. People in LA just..ignore you? Chicagoans seem to actively dislike everyone.

LA has its own version of gigantic aloof assholes, both can be true. Trolling Chicagoans and New Yorkers about food who wander into the LA thread is a great pastime though. People should not care that much about pizza, bagels and hot dogs. Bird in a Blender posted:We’re not miserable. We’re pretentious! To be specific when I said it's miserable I meant the weather

You guys must hang around some weird people because I’ve never met anyone in chicago that actually truly cares about ketchup on hot dogs or who has the better pizza. It’s usually all said in jest. And the weather here is fine most of the time. Except July, July loving sucks. E: we’re usually considered friendly too! Here’s one where we’re 9th in the country. I’m actually more upset about someone saying we’re full of assholes. https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/2015-08-11the-2015-friendliest-and-unfriendliest-cities-in-the-us/amp

Ha it’s ok. It’s not like we don’t have our fair share of assholes so I could see where someone could have a lovely experience. Hard to avoid with a couple million people.

There's a five-way stop sign intersection in a Beverly Hills neighborhood and it's the most perfect example of the particular type of aloof, entitled LA assholes that exist. I had to go through it for work for years and it's like impossible for these people to take turns. All five lanes try to go out of turn at the same time like every single time. It's amazing.

I’ve never been to Chicago but I really want to visit. We’ve considered it as a possible relocation destination at some point. Any city with that many folks is bound to be replete with assholes.

I feel the same way about “no ketchup on hot dogs” thing as I do about 95% of “X film/tv show/music sucks poo poo” takes at this point. We can’t just say that something is just meh or OK or not to our taste, it has to be likened to the ball sweat dripping off of Satan’s taint or whatever. It’s so tiring and obnoxious. Also if my experience in the DC and Denver areas is indicative of the US as a whole, then the people who are assholes about a local thing tend to be far and away people who have moved there and taken living there as their entire identity. Of course there will be a few locals who are a PITA too, but a lot of it seems to come from transplants.

The drink of choice back in the day was a 10-Loko: a 4Loko mixed with a 5-Hour Energy and a shot of Ketel One. Also kimchi as a sauerkraut or basic cabbage replacement is so simple. Kimchi on hot dogs or in tacos is easy fusion mode.

Let me tell you a little story about Kelley Square in Worcester, MA, where, before a redesign a few years ago, seven roads converged on one intersection with only three stop signs. That poo poo was terrifying.

Apropos of nothing other than a history deep dive- I don’t know if it’s true that the Kulaks burned their crops out of spite during a famine, but if it’s true it’s the coolest thing anyone has ever done.

Olympia had the Reef, which was open 24 hours and served chicken and waffles. It also burned down every 3 or 4 years. Still the best and one of the things I miss about college. Now that Beth's is closed in Seattle my only option is the 5 point for a similar 24 hour experience but it's a little too nice and more expensive.
