The North Shore

Comprising the Upper and Lower North Shore, The North Shore is the prestigious part of Sydney, where rich people live and drive expensive cars (such as BMWs, Jaguars and Mercedes).

The Upper North Shore are suburbs between Roseville and Hornsby (excluding Berowra, obviously), and the Lower North Shore includes suburbs on the north side of the Harbour Bridge.

Private schools on the North Shore include Abbotsleigh, Barker, Joey's, Knox Grammar, Loreto Kirribilli, Loreto Normanhurst, Pius Pymble Ladies College, Ravenswood, Riverview, Roseville College, Shore School, Sydney Grammar (no public schools)

North Shore

New York has The Hamptons. Los Angeles has Beverly Hills. We here in Chicago have the North Shore.

The North Shore is a group of suburbs north of Chicago that the majority of line up against Lake Michigan, thus the name "North Shore".

I'm from Chicago, and I will truthfully say that no, not all of the "North Shore" is snobby rich kids. (Like Evanston for instance, is a pretty decent and diverse suburb). However, don't give us the "you're just jealous because you wish you were as rich as us" attitude. Because honestly, it is way cheaper to live in the suburbs than it is to live in the city. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone in Chicago can move to the north shore and buy a mansion. What I'm saying is that if all the rich families in the north shore were to move into the rich neighborhoods of Chicago, they wouldn't even nearly be able to aford the same quality houses they once had.

We don't need you to tell us you're rich. We've seen rich. Chicago has families with more wealth beyond your beliefs, so that's not an issue with us. It's the stuck up attitude that pisses off a lot of Chicago residents. Believe me, We have areas like Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and The Loop. All of which have families with 10 times more cash than your families, so your wealth is nothing of suprise to us.

In Chicago we don't care if you've got a great car, a huge house, or a nice school. Our lives are still more exciting than yours.
A popular band from the North Shore is Fall Out Boy (Even though most out-of-staters have the crazy idea they're from Chicago.)

A popular movie that depicts some of the snootiness in comparison to the normality of the North Shore is Mean Girls

On Shore Help

This phrase, originally used only in the context of telephone customer service, has now gained popularity in any situation that calls for competence beyond what is being offered, or simply used as an obnoxious distraction.
" Jimbo had a limp pecker AGAIN so I asked for a little on shore help."

Police person: "Can I see your license and registration, please?"

LaRon "Only if I can get some onshore help."

Judge: "Please remand the accused to custody."

Jumbo (Jimbo's brother) "Can't a brother get some on shore help here or what?"

shore acres

The whitest neighborhood in St. Petersburg Florida. Bordered by the two other whitest neighborhoods Snell Isle and the Old Northeast. If you see a black person in this neighborhood they probably just finished robbing a house or doing a deal because they aren't from these parts.
