Same here. The culture, lifestyle, daily interactions, etc. is all so much different in the city than the suburbs. It's a completely different situation. The reason this bugs me is because our childhoods had nothing in common with those who grew up in a car-centric suburb. Familial roots go back over 100 years in my neighborhood whereas some cities didn't even exist 10 years ago. The city is a place to experience and the suburbs are a place to live. They each have their advantages and disadvantages but that's why it bugs me. Don't try to claim something authentic and with history as your own when you've specifically chosen to not live there for various reasons.

I agree with you mtown. People who live in different places value different things, and generally speaking, I feel like you can learn a lot from somebody by knowing where they live.

If you live in Overland Park do people have a problem if you say you live in KC? If you live in KC should you point out if you live on the Kansas or Missouri side? If you live in Chicago but not downtown can you say you live in the city? If you live in Glen Oaks should you say Glen Oaks or West Des Moines? What about Beaverdale?

People who live in Glen Oaks will always tell you they live in Glen Oaks.

Back in college I told my friend who was from rural NE Iowa that I grew up in Beaverdale, just east of Beaver Avenue.

He just laughed and said, "Hehe, you said Beaver."

He was not a mature young man.

It is funny that there is a Beaver Cleaners on Beaver Ave though.

Was giving directions to an out of town relative. Told him to take Hickman to Beaver.

Hick man to Beaver? Thought I was screwing with him
 
"Nice" shoes with "fancy" jeans...

Concerned about "authenticity" and "cred"...

I never knew mtown was a hipster.:twitcy:

For the record, I usually told non-Iowans what town I lived in (either Ames or Gladbrook) and then had to reference it with a direction/distance from Des Moines. Now I have to tell all my Iowa friends and family that Mount Vernon, WA is about 60 miles north of Seattle.

Speaking of ick, Minnesotans say ish instead of ick and it bugs me for some reason. Of course, they think it's called Duck, Duck, Grey Duck and the regularly confuse borrow and lend, so they say a lot of annoying things.
