SI1020 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 If I post my geographical resume you'll get a frickin headache. Was actually a hobo in my twenties for a while. At times resided in the North Park, Albany Park, Uptown, Edgewater, Rogers Park and Logan Square neighborhoods of Chicago. Miss Chicago real bad. A loyal Sox fan for a looooong time.

Queen Prawn Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 It is very much democratic, but the amount of cubs jerseys I have seen has really shocked me. I didn't think there were any cubs fans there, but in the last two years I've seen more cubs jerseys than I can stand to tell the truth. I cured my bf of that disease (haven't managed to turn him into a sox fan yet, but I have gotten him to like several of the players), and let me tell ya, it wasn't easy. All of his friends that I know can't stand the sox. Some of them are cubs fans and some of them like teams from other cities, but I have yet to meet that many Sox fans.

Heads22 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I've lived in Oelwein Iowa my whole life, and will most likely be going to college in Ames and/or Iowa City, Iowa in late 2005.

That's the funny thing....it's decent sized for Cali, but nothing big....yet, is more than 10 times bigger than Pierre(because 15,000 isn't the exact population....it is between 14,000-15,000....something around there). Â cw....that pretty much hits it on the dot....though I usually pay right away when I go to buy something....I'm not going to go in and take a PS2 and then say "I'll have the money on Monday!" or something like that! But for the most part, everyone knows everyone....exactly right. Small town life is great...and it sucks at the same time.
