Thankfully we moved to southern Indiana many years ago and never looked back.
Once you get away from the northeast corner of Illinois it's a beautiful state, with lots of great people. Sadly they have no voice in the way the state is run.

Quit disrespecting Chicago. I just spent a week there and the onlly crime I experienced was the price of a burger at the Hilton, and the four levels of sales tax levied on food purchased at a restaurant.
