I live in Louisiana. Every search, and website that I vist lists local events or preferences for Chicago. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? It's almost like the internet thinks that I live in Chicago?????

If I go to google news, it automatically lists local news for Chicago. If I go to any website that lets me look at local events, it pulls events for Chicago. Even Pepsi Refresh project, I clicked a button for "projects near me" and it pulls projects in Chicago. WHY?
