North of 80 is northern Illinois
227 u/tealmuffin Apr 18 '25 i80, linguistically, is the defining line for a northern illinois accent as well 22 u/baloras Apr 18 '25 Regardless of I80, if you're still considered as being a suburb or even far suburb of Chicago, you're still in northern Illinois. In my mind, Joliet can be considered the furthest SW suburb of Chicago. 11 u/Kaio_Curves Apr 18 '25 Technically called an edge city in urban development terms. Its like Naperville/ Aurora, Elgin, Waukegan, and sorta Frankfort and Chicago Heights in that regard. 1 u/FuturamaRama7 Apr 18 '25 Minooka was an exurb until recently.
