One day in the Chicago Poems class we were talking about how location defines us--that in New York apparently the first question people as is "what do you do?" or in New Orleans they ask "Where have you eaten lately?" But in Chicago, it always seems to be "Where do you live?"--what neighborhood, and oddly this is so true in my experience, both in person and in the virtual world. It's usually followed by "what stop?" So this made me laugh (and then of course, join)...
