Evanston - what is it?

1) A city on the North Shore

2) A name for an attitude that can be adopted by someone even after you've known them for a long time. Very often happens outside of Evanston, but was named after the town because it was first observed in a person from Evanston. They tend to abandon friends suddenly for new groups. Not quite pure meanness or coldness, but somewhere in between the two. Insincerity mixed with a dash of rudeness and the ability to be effortlessly annoying is as close to summing it up as one can come.

M: Hey man, why did that girl become so... I don't know, different lately? It's not really her being cold or mean, but something in between.

H: It's insincerity, that's what it is.

M: Damn, you're exactly right.

P: It's "Evanston". Who knows how it starts, but I've seen it before in this girl from Evanston. Chicago is close enough for it to have spread.

What does "Evanston" mean?

Evanston: A police state rich town full of untroubled yuppies where the police are so bored they creep around at night looking for traffic ticket violations to rape poorer people with. The Evanston City Hall people are a bunch of obnoxious pricks too. DO NOT MOVE HERE if you don't want CONSTANT traffic tickets or to suffer nothing but police harassment with your car. Seriously.

Evanston, police, tickets

Evanston - meaning

Suburb of Chicago on the "North Shore". Home to Northwestern University (go Wildcats), large, ritzy houses and nice cars. Evanston has an expansive downtown with plenty to do (if you've got the cash). See Panera, Borders, the Gap, Starbucks (x3), Urban Outfitters, the Keg (a notorious 18+ bar), Kafein (awesome coffee shop) and NU.

Also the location of the movie "Mean Girls"

Evanston - slang

A really cool college town. Distinct from the rest of the North Shore, especially Kenilworth, Wilmette, Winnetka, etc., because those are rich suburbs that are riddled with Republicans. Evanston is a hip liberal town that is the closest to Chicago.

The City of Evanston is named for a man called Dr. John Evans.
I want a neighborhoodie that says Evanston on it.

Evanston

A Suburb of Chicago It is unlike any other suburb of Chicago. Not to be compared with Heighland Park or wilmette it is about perfectly half upper-class and half poor people and gang bangers and drug dealers! Surprisingly all these kids go the same schools although most of the rich kids go to heaven and badasses go to kinglab and chute. If any kid from Highland Park, Wilmette or Parkridge were to spend a day in an Evanston public school they wouldn't be breathing! But all in all Evenston is a great town for all people and most of the people get along!

Amazing town where anyone who comes out of It is ready to face the world and has much street credibility and has not been sheltered like Lake Forest, Parkridge, Highland Park, Wilmette and Skokie kids! Evanston is badass!
