The region

Northwest Indiana. Bordering ChiTown - people from “the region” generally say they are from Chicago. Regionites often attend universities in IN (IU, IUPUI, PU, BSU etc.) and are, for the most part, pretty chill. Natives of Indy (Indianapolis) seem to get along well with from the Region. People from Carmel and Zionsville often say they’re from the Nap (Indy, when they are not) and these people get along well with Regionites. The two cultures are generally, spoon-fed teenagers who think they have some level of street smarts, as they identify with metropolitan regions near them (Region - Chicago; Carmel - Indy). Individuals from the real Chicago and Indy seldom get along with Regionites; as they claim a city that is not theirs. If you so happen to meet a Regionite, they will likely have these traits and qualities: -Respect -Loyalty -Some level of arrogance (an Illinois thing) -Thinking they are “hood” or “perfectly capable” of living in a city Notes: -They 100% all come from money -They will say they are “broke” while driving their daddy’s brand new Mercedes -100% guaranteed to say they’re “basically from Chicago” -Is a diverse culture ethnic-wise -While they do have some level of street smarts, they are often ill-suited to live in the real Chi or Nap
