And I love the traffic thing! So true. I watch WGN every morning and I have no idea what she's talking about!

the circle
them merge
old post office
interchange
the ike
independence

Then they'll say they names of the roads, which makes it sound funny because they're all people:

Reagan
Kennedy
Jane Addams
Dan Ryan
Edens

My brother, who lives in Rockford IL sends me jokes.. here's one for your "you know your from Illinois...

Statistics show that 98% of people, will white knuckle the steering wheel and freeze up when they encounter surface ice while driving. The other 2% are from Illinois: They calmly hand their beer to their buddy and say "watch this ****!"

- You view where you live as a very cold climate and someone five hours below you in your same state has "mild winters" - You've heard at least five different accents that various people in Illinois have - You only laugh at about a third of these jokes because the other two thirds don't apply to the specific region of Illinois that you live in

LOL! I can't tell you how many times my husband has done this to me, except of course, without the beer.
