A town that's actually like those old greaser movies: it has a right side and wrong side of the tracks. The North side si where all the mexicans and
poor white
kids live, with a decent mix of middle class
kids from the Winston Park area. They all go to Palatine High School. South of the tracks is where all the rich
kids live, they've got big houses and
daddy-bought-it-for-me Lexus's and Escalades and BMWs. They have thier share of middle class
kids as well, and a few poor
kids from downtown.
Palatine is notorious for having absolutly NOTHING to do within it's borders. There is
one place to shoot pool, but that shit gets expensive fast. Other than hanging ot at the Jewel or 7-11 until you get kicked out, you need to leave Palatine to find a good
time.
Alot of the
kids are stoners, druggies, or alcoholics. The town's roads are full of ricers, spicmobiles, minivans, and rich fucks. The mayor tried to do some 'remodling' thing to the downtown to try and copy Arlington Heights, but now it just looks like a real ugly fat chick with a few spots of make-up on.
The only interesting things to ever happen here is the massacre in the
Brown's Chicken 17 years ago, and we got Smashmouth to play our streetfest once.
The only way to really appreciate it's shittyness is to leave for a while, then come back.
Get out while you still can.
-"Hey, what do you want to do
today?"
-"Nothing, i have no money and no
gas in my car."
-"
Oh. Palatine sucks."
