    Re: Illinois is broke(n) ...

    I'm fine with a Wisconsin bailing them out and NOT taking over if and only if the state legally changes its name to Baja Wisconsin.

    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

      I'm in, but only if Cairo, IL, changes its name to Cairo San Lucas, Baja Wisconsin.

                  What the hell does this mean? I see it from time to time, and I'm sure it means something precise for locals. I assume it is geographic? It seems to be something like "Inland Empire."

                  Edit: google has many contradictory maps. Here's one.

                  I guess the first question is, is Milwaukee in Chicagoland?

                    The idea of that map is on track, but I'd say the area being claimed is a bit large.

                      It's a way to refer to the region and its suburbs and influence.
                      I'm not sure if Milwaukee is part of Chicagoland (the 'sconnies may be insulted); however, last time I drove Milwaukee to Chicago it felt like I never left a city.

                      DFW is "the metroplex".
                      Minneapolis + St. Paul is "the seven county metro".
                      Miami is now "Miami Dade" because city and county blur.

                      Heck, if I say "the beltway" you know exactly what metropolitan area to which I refer.

                        Sure, though it's also an exact area -- it's literally the area inside the DC beltway.

                        I wasn't sure whether Chicagoland was a superset or a subset of Chicago. Evidently, it's a superset, though there is disagreement of what constitutes it. "The City" is similar in NY. If you're from Manhattan it's Manhattan, if you're from the outer boroughs it's the five boroughs, but I've met people from Nassau County and NJ who mean the entire SMSA.

                          Speaking as a guy who lived "upstate", you're referring to "downstate". Whence "downstate" commences is up to interpretation. I claimed Poughkeepsie as that's where I could park a car and get onto NYC transit.

                            It's a construct that Chicago uses to refer to their particular brand of grossly overpopulated, poorly planned, suburban sprawl. The idea is that it's so large and has so much of IL's population, it could/should be considered it's own quasi-state. We have this notion in Detroit too, except we call it "Southeast Michigan" and it always refers to the counties of Wayne, Livingston, Washtenaw, Oakland, Macomb, and (sometimes) Monroe. Oftentimes, that gets condensed even further into "The Tri-County Area" (which is just Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb).

                              Literally or figuratively when one says "the beltway"?
                              You know the "beltway" mindset bleeds into Vienna, Tyson's Corner, Fairfax, etc.

                                I've found that "upstate" is always 10 miles north of where you're from.

                                But generally speaking, I've seen 3 "zones" of upstateness.

                                If you're from L.I., upstate is anything north of the Bronx.

                                If you're from the five boroughs, upstate is anything north of Rockland and Westchester counties.

                                If you're from the rest of the state, "upstate" is anything north of the Mohawk River.
