Boiseans, like a lot of Americans, tend get their scoop on a city like Chicago from national headlines or buzz-worthy scandals. Gang crime, old-school mobsters, da Bears, Kanye West, aesthetically pleasing-to-some firefighters, politics, and pizza are topical references a lot of smaller-town folks are fascinated with. After living in the Treasure Valley for nearly eight years, I get that. What makes me laugh after all this time are the questions my fellow Boise locals ask when they find out I'm a Chicago native. From the funny to outright awkward, the following are questions real locals have really asked me since I made Star my home. Laugh along with me and message me with any other questions you want me to answer!
