Philip we live in the south end
We do??? (Speak for yourself!)

I don't know what "We live in the south end" means. Is that what they call the region you actually live 'in'?

Yes, Seattle uses "in the north end" and "in the south end". "On the east side" means the other side of Lake Washington. I believe Chicago uses in the north/south end, as well.
