Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
deep dish is tourist pizza.
No.
Chicago style deep dish is not like other pizzas that claim to be deep dish. Chicago style deep dish is a pie. It's not something you can fold and eat while walking down the street. It's something you eat with friends while having a beer and conversation (during the 45+ minutes you wait after ordering). It is a meal, not something that sits congealing under a heat lamp waiting for someone to order a slice. Chicago style deep dish is one of the factors in surviving a Chicago winter.
I was wondering when a Chicagoan would weigh in on what "real" Chicago pizza is. I was starting to feel like a big dupe, like Chicago fooled me into thinking that deep-dish was "their" pizza, when it's really what they throw to the tourists.
And now I want Uno's for lunch, dang it.

SUCH a Monday.
Crappy commute. Not early enough to go buy coffee. Came into my department to see/hear two managers going at each other. Boss intercommed at 9:30 and wants me to take minutes for a 10am mtg I didn't even know about. and now my eye is itching and twitchy.

Kat, you're so skinny!
Not really. Optical illusion. I still have at a minimum 10 more pounds to lose.
Jessica, I'm not sure if there is a resource that has that. Probably your gut instinct works just as well as any list I might be able to find you. I would think there might be some places of overlap (for example, stuff on the environment can be both science and social studies).
How important is it for you to have the categories be solid?

Unfortunately the system we're using to present the modules online doesn't allow tagging, so each modules can only have one label per category.
My boss was able to find a list of subjects used by educational publishers, which is what we're going with for now unless we find something better.

So sorry to hear about your loss, askye.
I am less bothered by the climbing gas prices themselves than by the fact that they've made the last convenience store in my area that let you pay after pumping stop that practice. I liked that little exhibition of trust, and thus almost always filled up there and bought snacks since I could put it all on one swipe of a credit card.

I'm not a "real" Chicagoan, but I honestly have no idea why anyone would order thin crust anything when there's a delicious deep dish pie to be had.
Tourist pizza. Whatever. Guess that makes me a tourist.

NY style tends to taste best to me, though those stuffed spinach pies in Chicago are also great. But my Ur-pizza is the thin crust cheese slices at Little Steve's in Boston.
