Well, just a couple famous people from the Chicagoland area:

* Warren Zevon
* Billy Corgan (and most of the members of the Smashing Pumpkins)
* Benny Goodman
* Kanye West (unfortunately)
* Edgar Bergen (no news on Charlie McCarthy, though)
* Stephen Colbert
* Walt Disney
* David Mamet
* Bob Newhart
* Nelson Algren
* Ray Bradbury
* Raymond Chandler
* Roger Ebert
* Gary Gygax
* Ernest Hemingway
* Anton LaVey
* Shel Silverstein
* Hugh Hefner
* Studs Terkel

No-one else famous from Skokie, but I did learn that Evanston is the hometown of Charlton Heston and Eddie Vedder.
