We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
This Mayberry knockoff has the kind of manicured, white-picket-fence history that makes people suspicious, and now they act shocked when their 'perfect bubble' gets asked about its diversity problems.
Everyone calls it 'The Bubble' because it shields wealthy suburbanites from scary things like seasoned food and anyone who doesn't own a Peloton. It's where teenagers get BMWs for their 16th birthday then complain about being bored while their parents furnish empty McMansion rooms they can't afford.
They're so desperate for 'authentic Chicago culture' they import it one Italian beef at a time. The height of culinary adventure here is choosing between the Portillo's drive-thru line and the Portillo's dining room while eating the exact same mass-produced Italian beef.
This city is so aggressively boring that movies and bowling pass for peak entertainment, and the kids are so overscheduled with AP classes and club resumes that even their free time has a GPA. They live in one of America's 'safest' communities and still look exhausted. The Riverwalk is beautiful though - if you enjoy staring at man-made nature that's blocked off half the time.
