That Empire ad is national though, I see it here all the time. "Call EMPIRE today!"

You know you're from Chicago, when you don't realize that there is MUCH MORE to Illinois that Chicago.

You know your from PA (Philly area) if:

You order a cheesesteak wit wiz....translation cheesesteak, onions, and cheez wiz...if you don't want onion you say cheesesteak wiz

You do the Philly roll....always watch the opposing traffic light and when it starts to turn yellow you roll your car off the line...also works at stop signs...just kind of roll through them

You refer to Pork Roll as Pork Roll...I work in Jersey and hate when they refer to it as "Taylor Ham"

You know what scrapple is....need I say more

When the forecast is for 3-4 inches of snow the newscasters refer to it as "The storm of the century" How embarrasing!

The New Year just wouldn't be right without watching the Mummers Parade on tv

Real Philly soft pretzels...right from the pretzel factory

Knowing the definition of a Hoagie and loving the roll

Knowing what this means..."There running on .....Street"....street drag racing

Most Philly people don't go to Pat's or Gino's for cheesesteaks....we go to the "Prince" off the Blvd

You at least know what South Street is even if you haven't been there.

You know you're from Chicago, when you don't realize that there is MUCH MORE to Illinois that Chicago.

Yep, that is true of those northerners from Illinois...us southerners in Illinois don't drink "pop", we drink soda.

You know you're in southern Illinois if it's Halloween and the streets are filled with college kids at SIU.

SIU...the home away from home for all the twenty-something northerners...

You know you're in southern Illinois if you're a Cardinals fan instead of a Cubbie fan...

You know you're in southern Illinois if you "learnt ta warsh your clothes in the zink"...

If you know what "Little Egypt" means...you're from southern Illinois...

If you've ever been cow tippin', snipe huntin' then you're from southern Illinois...

You know you're from southern Illinois if you think "Bald Knob" really is on a mountain...

Just a few from my neck of the woods....please don't take offense...it's just how I know it's home....may not agree with it all....hate it when I hear that warsh talk...but, it's home and gotta love it!!!

...You know that you're from St. Louis when:

people ask you where you went to high school, as if your entire identity is wrapped up in that little fact.

you like provel cheese on just about everything, especially thin-crust pizza!

you live for Ted Drewes in the summer and love to turn your concrete upside-down.

you expect the science center, planetarium, zoo, art museum and history museum to be FREE.

if the weather is even remotely nice, you head to Forest Park as if you're magnetically drawn there.

you have to remind tourists all the time that East St. Louis is NOT St. Louis - it's not even in Missouri!

you know who Big Mac and The Oz are.

you laugh at the foolish mortals who can't handle the humidity.

you love to go to The Loop (and you're proud!).

you're still crying that Lake Forest Bakery closed and you have to get your gooey butter coffee cake somewhere else.

you know that Anheuser Busch owns your town.

you think that deep-fried ravioli is absolutely normal (albeit gross!).

you wear red practically every day from April through September.

you drive effortlessly through any amount of snow, but absolutely can't function in a .16" of rain.

you can't imagine having to travel around town without hopping on the innerbelt or 40.

you see a church/synagogue on EVERY corner!

you read "The Post" each day.

you know that Wash U. isn't in Washington.

you still call the Missouri Botanical Gardens "Shaw's Garden."

Gotta love the city with the arch!!! Give me something from the Hill anyday....and throw in some Ted Drewes and a night of hockey with the Blues and I'd be happy!
Yep....can't believe other city parks, zoos, etc. actually cost money? What is up with that? We've been making that drive forever to go to the best zoo in the world IMHO....
Just was in the fair city yesterday...out at 270 and Olive for my sister's doctor appointment...and Wash U. has some of the best scattered around the city...
