You all know me. I love proclaiming the oddness of being from my hometown of Forest Park. But I love the City and its foibles, and I've been learning how to get around in it almost as long as I've been conscious. You Chicagoans reading this may say "You're a suburbanite! You're not from Chicago! Don't even pretend!" But I now officially have residency in both places, and know the Red Line (from Chinatown to Loyola, at least) better than a lot of people who live in the city. I identify with living in Rogers Park probably as much as I identify with living in Forest Park. With that said, on the Chicago Bloggers site, should I be from the Red Line at Loyola or the Blue Line at Harlem (Congress)? Currently, I've chosen Harlem to stand out as not just a simple Loyola student. But I will ask opinions... my heart is torn, faithful readers. Glue it back together, or at least tell it you care.
Well, to legally be acceptable to the chicago blogger website, you will need to be living within the borders of chicago. If there's one thing I know about bloggers, it's their willingness to adhere to the law and the truth.
Flip a coin.
"Currently, I've chosen Harlem to stand out as not just a simple Loyola student."
If that's REALLY your only reason for it, then I say Red Line.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that you should accept your college student identity and be happy with it. I mean, we know you're a Chicagoan, and there are enough references to Chicago life in your blog to make that clear to others.
