Selections from a DuPage County group “DuPage County…..Enough Said”
(not “political”) that seems to be populated by mostly college/recently out of college age people on Facebook:
“You Know You Are From DuPage County, Illinois When…………….
….
Your public high school is on the list of top public high schools in the country
That two acre patch of land? Yeah, wait a week…there will be ten houses on it
….
We buy perfectly liveable houses, pay to tear them down, then build new McMansions on the same spot
You know to avoid Ogden Ave/75th St/I-88/I-355/Rt 83…because the traffic is horrible.
….
Your town is ranked as the best place to live, raise children, or [succeed] in the entire country. The average family income in your town is at least three times the national average
….
You are a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan, never both.
When people ask where you are from, you tell them “Chicago” because it’s just easier that way.
You will support the Bears/Bulls until you die.
The only public transportation you’ve ever taken is the METRA because it’s the easiest way to get to the city.
….
There are only two seasons. Winter and road construction
….
There is a huge forest preserve no more than 10 minutes from your house
….
You see high ACT/SAT scores as a point of pride and nothing else.
You know DuPage is the greatest county in the state of Illinois and the Midwest, because we rock at everything.
You are proud to be from DuPage County, Illinois”
Says a lot as something that “defines” who is from DuPage County.
