Reason for rudeness

5/5/2006
You have 9 million people living on a postage stamp called Chicago. Dog eat dog, pushy, rude people. I felt like I was back in Pakistan the way people act there. Chicago has such great restaurants, architecture and cultural activities it is a shame, but, for me, I wouldn't live there for nothing. And the person who wrote that they lived in a suburb where everyone was a native and weren't friendly was right on. I can remember walking down the street strolling my baby carriage in winter and saying hello to the old women around Montose and Western, and nobody would say hello back! They would just look straight ahead like they did not hear me. And I was a woman in her early 30's with a baby in a stroller--not some ax murderer...but that's Chicago mentality 25 years ago even. Chicago really has gone to pot. You can have it!
