[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say that Winnetka is snobby. Everywhere from Evanston up north through Lake Forest has snobby pockets, but 10 minutes west of there, a little bit off the lake shore is not snobby at all. The problem is that the less snobby areas have pretty low standards for academics, food, etc. If you are used to east coast life being around educated and demanding people, you might now be an educated and demanding pressure cooker person. [/quote]Interesting. Winnetka is pretty snobby, but restaurants in the North Shore are generally pretty dumbed down and expensive. The restaurants get better, generally, as you move from the North Shore. Saying that folks west of the lake have low standards for food and other things is just nonsense.

Plenty of schools more than ten minutes west are great, including Stevenson, Deerfield, and the Glenbrooks. And there's PLENTY of country club and snobbiness west of the lake. In fact, closer to the lake, you get more old money, and with that, fewer folks who are flaunting their wealth.

I haven't spent much time around Barrington, Long Grove, and Crystal Lake, but understand they all have plenty of snobby, too. And no one's talking about them as food destinations.

I find the PP's perspective perplexing.[/quote]
