A Suburb of Chicago It is unlike any other suburb of Chicago. Not to be compared with Heighland Park or wilmette it is about perfectly half upper-class and half poor people and gang bangers and drug dealers! Surprisingly all these kids go the same schools although most of the rich kids go to heaven and badasses go to kinglab and chute. If any kid from Highland Park, Wilmette or Parkridge were to spend a day in an Evanston public school they wouldn't be breathing! But all in all Evenston is a great town for all people and most of the people get along!
Amazing town where anyone who comes out of It is ready to face the world and has much street credibility and has not been sheltered like Lake Forest, Parkridge, Highland Park, Wilmette and Skokie kids! Evanston is badass!

Get the Evanston mug.A really cool college town. Distinct from the rest of the North Shore, especially Kenilworth, Wilmette, Winnetka, etc., because those are rich suburbs that are riddled with Republicans. Evanston is a hip liberal town that is the closest to Chicago.
The City of Evanston is named for a man called Dr. John Evans.
I want a neighborhoodie that says Evanston on it.

Get the Evanston mug.Suburb of Chicago on the "North Shore". Home to Northwestern University (go Wildcats), large, ritzy houses and nice cars. Evanston has an expansive downtown with plenty to do (if you've got the cash). See Panera, Borders, the Gap, Starbucks (x3), Urban Outfitters, the Keg (a notorious 18+ bar), Kafein (awesome coffee shop) and NU.

Get the Evanston mug.Evanston: A police state rich town full of untroubled yuppies where the police are so bored they creep around at night looking for traffic ticket violations to rape poorer people with. The Evanston City Hall people are a bunch of obnoxious pricks too. DO NOT MOVE HERE if you don't want CONSTANT traffic tickets or to suffer nothing but police harassment with your car. Seriously.

Get the Evanston mug.A North Shore suburb of Chicago that has great appeal only for adult residents. When it comes to education for K-12 students, however, its school system is primarily less-than-lackluster. The city attempts to lie to new residents with children about its so-called "excellent public school system", and new students become excited with high hopes of a diverse, large, enthusiastic and intellectual school, and only arrive to find the opposite.
Man, I'm glad that my family has found a great place in Evanston, next to the lake and a nice park in a fantastic upper scale neighborhood, yet going to high school here is so sucky.
