AnswerNo, they're called people from Chicago, citizens of Chicago, ect. AnswerYes, Chicagoan is correct. AnswerYes, People from Chicago are called "Chicagoans". Normally, we just say, "we're from Chicago". My family has been there for generations, I was raised city-proper. If you are from the 'burbs' people will still say they are Chicagoans, ahem, Gurnee people. When I say I am from Chicago, I always say, "Chicago, City-proper'.

What is a native from Dubai called?

Dubai is a city-state of the United Arab Emirates. People from there are called Emirati, just like the people from Abu Dhabi. There is no equivalent for the New Yorkers of New Yorker or the Chicagoans of Chicago. They are more like Miami and Los Angeles - their inhabitants are Americans (and lots of Latinos)

How many native Chicagoans live in Chicago?

It depends on the neighborhood and age group. Unfortunately, gentrification has driven out many native Chicagoans from the neighborhoods within 2-3 miles of downtown. Bucktown, for example, has virtually no native Chicagoans. Some other neighborhoods with barely any Chicago natives are Taylor Street, Edgewater, Lakeview, Hyde Park, Ravenswood, Wicker Park, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Park, Bucktown, and the South Loop. To find the real Chicago populated by Chicago natives you have to be west of California on the north side or almost the entire south side. Neighborhoods like Portage Park, Belmont Cragin, Galewood, Jefferson Park, Edgebrook, Garfield Ridge, Bridgeport and many more, are full of native Chicagoans. Ironically, the suburbs along Milwaukee Ave just north of Chicago are full of native Chicagoans, mainly Park Ridge, Niles, Des Plaines. Also some of the western suburbs like Norridge, Harwood Heights and Elmwood Park. A native Chicagoan would never use the term "the city" to refer to Chicago. They would always say "Chicago". A suburbanite or someone from outside of Illinois usually refers to Chicago as "the city".

Does an on-line Chicago Portrait Gallery exist for finding paintings or photos of famous Chicagoans?

Here are a few answers. 1) This book might be available at your local library: Chicago portraits : biographies of 250 famous Chicagoans Sawyers, June Skinner, 1957- Publisher: Loyola University Press, Pub date: c1991. Pages: xv, 322 p. : ISBN: 0829407006 2) This site has a good list of more recent famous Chicagoans: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/chicago/links/famous.html The links on that site try to point directly to the appropriate person on http://www.biography.com, but really end up on the search page. You can go from there though, and the few I tried include a decent picture. 3) www.earlychicago.com and http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org also have lots of pictures. Not as neat as you may want, but better than nothing!


Why do we call it Judaism?

It is the ism of Jews. Just like Christianity is the anity of Chrisians, and Buddhism is the ism of Buddhists. A more pussling question is why some groups get isms, while others get anities. This is the same question as why people from Ann Arbor are Ann Arborites, while those from Chicago are Chicagoans and people from Dubuque are Dubuquers. I haven't a clue, but I guess that it has to do with which ending flows best.
