Chicago girl here. I don't have the stereotypical (ie SNL Superfans) accent, but not many do anymore. That's more of a southside or old school city worker accent. I do notice a more nasally "o" in comparison to my coworkers who aren't from here (ie I say "Cahstco" instead of "Cawstco"). There's also a dialect difference, such as me saying gym shoes, pop, and kiddy corner, whereas they say sneakers, soda, and kaddy corner.
