[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google hit for 'Chicago unsophisticated' got this juicy story. A billionaire and his now ex wife had an allegedly violent argument when discussing their pre-nup because she wanted the freedom to move to San Francisco or New York City in the event of a divorce  because she found the Windy City “unsophisticated,” according to a court filing: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2015/02/20/ken-griffin-wife-found-chicago-unsophisticated/

The ex wife's bio: Born in France, undergrad at Georgetown, MBA from Harvard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Dias-Griffin[/quote]

Ok, if you're a French Harvard MBA mom who hangs with billionnaires and married one, I will give you a free pass to call Chicago unsophisticated.  That's the kind of person who might be equally grumpy about LA or NYC.[/quote]

She now lives in Miami, according to her online bios. I've been told Chicago feels like a podunk small city to people from California and East Coast. Possible relevant data point, very few out of state students at Northwestern or UChicago remain in the region after graduation.[/quote]

That’s because they mostly experience Chicago in the winter! It ain’t for sissies. If you went to Georgetown only in the summer you’d get out of DC as well. How many GU grads stay in the area unless you were a government or foreign service major?[/quote]
