'''North Side''' - a historically working class area with a few wealthy enclaves here and there, it has recently seen some gentrification efforts on all sides.

Many that commute live in the vast array of large suburbs in a forty mile radius of Chicago, otherwise known as [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Chicagoland]].</ref>. It is worth noting however, that as the years go on, the area directly north of Chicago is a lot closer to [[Suburbia]] and Strip Malls than [[Down on the Farm]], as the metropolitan areas of Milwaukee and Chicago continue to grow, causing bordering communities to continue to grow as well. In any other direction however, this is true - with only smaller cities such as Elgin (to the west) and Rockford (to the northwest) breaking up a huge quantity of [[Down on the Farm]] interspersed with [[Everytown, America]].
