19 Signs You're From The Dirty 630

Listen, 708, you're great. 773, you mean the world to me. 312, I'll never forget you. But the Dirty 630 will always have my heart.

19 Signs You're From The Dirty 630
naperville.il.us

If you go anywhere in the world, except Chicago, it's likely that when people ask where you're from, you say Chicago. This is usually followed up by said questioner making fun of an accent that really isn't that strong, asking if you've ever seen The Bean or been to the "Willis Tower" (*cough* Sears Tower *cough*), and if Portillo's is all it's chalked up to be. But here's the thing, you most likely don't live in the center of the great city of Chicago. Instead, the odds are you live in one of the 62 suburbs of it. Of those 62, there are about 12-15 suburbs that claim to be the original Dirty 630. So if you're from Naperville, Darien, Downers Grove, Willowbrook, Westmont, Lisle, Clarendon Hills, Woodridge, Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale, Bolingbrook, or Burr Ridge, this one's for you.

1. You understand why this is funny.

2. And the irony in this.

3. You’ve had a field trip here at least once in grade school.

4. You’ve lost your mom here more times than you can count.

5. You know this is the ultimate “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

6. You’ve had this meal countless times, and it is just as amazing every time.

7. You hung out here (or downtown Naperville) during your junior high and early high school years.

8. Whether it was for field trips, group play dates, or the famous Zoo Lights, you’ve definitely been here. (Although not technically located in the Dirty 630).

9. You know it’s better to just go to Target.

10. You’ve had some sort of parent forced/staged photo shoot here.

11. You ice skated here until you were old enough to go to Millennium Park.

12. You know this is the perfect end to a fun night.

13. You know about this hidden gem, and it’s only 10 minutes from your house.

14. You’ve heard horror stories about this place, but have never actually been here. (Or you’ve been here, but only to meet a B-List celebrity like DJ Pauly D).

15. You live within a 10-mile radius of six major shopping malls.

16. You went to high school at DGS, DGN, HSHS, HCHS, NVHS, NNHS, NCHS, or WVHS. Or if you went to private school, at either Benet, Naz, Montini, or Fenwick.

17. You had your prom and/or (school sponsored) prom after party at Navy Pier or the Shedd.

18. You know Plainfield Rd., 75th St., and 63rd St. like the back of your hand.

19. You use the expression Dirty 630 when describing where you’re from.

But really...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
