That's changing. My wife made me go to a restaurant in the western part of Chicago and i remember looking around at all of the names/types of stores and saying "something about this feels Silicon Valley like pretentiousn..." and the advertised apartments were expensive as hell by most people's standards..
Sure enough Google and some other big dotcoms were building or moving into the area. I want to say the Morgan area?
