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.
Also the location of the movie "Mean Girls"

A Chicago SUBURB that thinks they are a big city but the residents want to live like they are in a small town.

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.

1) A city on the North Shore
2) A name for an attitude that can be adopted by someone even after you've known them for a long time. Very often happens outside of Evanston, but was named after the town because it was first observed in a person from Evanston. They tend to abandon friends suddenly for new groups. Not quite pure meanness or coldness, but somewhere in between the two. Insincerity mixed with a dash of rudeness and the ability to be effortlessly annoying is as close to summing it up as one can come.

M: Hey man, why did that girl become so... I don't know, different lately? It's not really her being cold or mean, but something in between.
H: It's insincerity, that's what it is.
M: Damn, you're exactly right.
P: It's "Evanston". Who knows how it starts, but I've seen it before in this girl from Evanston. Chicago is close enough for it to have spread.

A small town in the southwest corner of Wyoming of about 12,000. Only 3 miles from the Utah Border. A very nice small town even though all the people from Utah go there to buy Alcohol and Fireworks.

It’s when the upperclassmen on the Northwestern University football team lather themselves up in the team shower , then stand in close quarters at the entrance to said shower and make poor performing underclassmen squeeze through them naked to get in the shower.
Those poor freshmen football players at NU were forced to run the gauntlet through the Evanston Car Wash for several years under coach Fitzgerald.
