Chicago Withdrawal Clarification

As critical as I am of Chicago, I still believe I won't fit in anywhere else. I'm from a large Chicago Catholic family--isn't exactly how everyone was raised. I remember being in a bar once with my brother in Chicago and he ran into someone he knew that went to his high school. The guy, Carl I believe his name was, was 27, a college dropout and had been on Jeopardy recently so he wasn't an idiot; he was working on his undergraduate. He said something that I will never forget: "I learned being away from Chicago that not everyone is Catholic." Of course he knew not everyone was Catholic, but that just goes to show how an overwhelmingly number of Chicagoans identify themselves with the religion. Growing up I'd never thought I would live anywhere else: then I realized other parts of the country are much happier in general, warmer, laid back, sunnier, greener. When talking about Chicago, the grass literally is greener in Cincinnati; there are far more trees and less McDonald's gray parking lots everywhere. The best part is no one tells me about how great Cincinnati is like they do about Chicago. So Chicago Withdrawal isn't homesickness, its the feeling I get when I know I won't fit in anywhere else, something Chicago takes from everyone, which is why Chicagoans have to convince themselves they are the best, an awakening would be very painful for them.
