I had a pretty good laugh at this - and yes, I'm from Chicago. There are many areas of the country that border the South either geographically -- or culturally -- like parts of Missouri and Kentucky. Parts of the state may seem Northern, other parts might be much more Southern. The Mason-Dixon line becomes very arbitrary and people's personal interpretations are what matters.
