The thread about Expat Hoosiers brought up the topic of "What do you miss from Indiana?" for those who have moved away.
I ask a similar question: For those who moved from elsewhere into Indiana, what do you miss about your former state or former area?
I lived in the Chicago suburbs for over 40 years before moving to southern Indiana in 2021.
What I miss from Chicagoland:
I have several good friends, that I miss seeing frequently. (But that really has nothing to do with Chicagoland.)
I miss Giordano's and Lou Malnati's Deep Dish Pizza. (I often drive over 3 hours round-trip to Indianapolis, which is the closest place with any good Chicago pizza.)
I miss Turano bakery's French Rolls. (I never realized that French rolls were a Chicago thing and was shocked that no-one carries them here.)
(Honorable mention to Portillo's and Jewel-Osco)
I have thus exhausted the list of everything I miss about Illinois and about the Chicago area.
