Geographical cluelessness, Chicago

[pippin_999]

When I was a student in Austria, people would ask me about the 
Mob (when she was a kid, my mother used to see Al Capone's 
gang riding the running boards with their tommyguns, but I never 
did)  and the stockyards (closed when I was about twelve). 

My Austrian teachers all had stories about people who wanted to 
know about the kangaroos.

Did you know that the "cheeseburger, cheeseburger" bit is 
based on a real restaurant in Chicago?
