And what's so wrong with Northerners??

I'm on a roll with these "You know" things. I promise I'll stop...sometime. It's just my life is pretty boring, so when I have nothing to say, I write "You know"s. Here's a pretty good set. And I'll have you know I've done most of these things.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM CHICAGO WHEN....
-You can name three or four taxes nobody else pays.
-You say Chicawgo and not Chicaago.
-You think going to a Bears game in single digit temperatures with a wind off the lake (and freezing rain) is fun.
-You guard your shoveled parking space with an old chair and unusable broom.
-You know why they call it "the Windy City".
-You know when the last time the Cubs won a pennant.
-You know exactly how many cars are "legally" allowed to turn left after the light turns red.
-The "Living Room" is called the "front room".
-You don't pronounce the "s" at the end of Illinois. You become irate at people who do.
-You measure distance in minutes (especially "from the city"). And you swear everything is pretty much 15 minutes away.
-You refer to Lake Michigan as "The Lake".
-You refer to Chicago as "The City".
-You think 35 degrees is great weather to wash your car!
-You know what goes on a Chicago Style Hot Dog.
-You know what Chicago Style Pizza REALLY is.
-You know the difference between Amtrak and Metra, and know which station they end up at. You have ridden the "L".
-You wear gym shoes, not sneakers.
-You live 2 miles from work and it takes you 2 hours to drive there.
-You don't flinch when you pay the 5th toll of your 45 minute car ride on the highway.
-You know Lincoln Towing is Satan incarnate.
-You're not ashamed of wearing a big fur Russian hat, or a headsock with one hole in it, in public from November through March.
