I have fond memories of all the things I did as a kid but am disappointed to see areas of decline. The neighborhoods that I lived in in my younger years have turned rough looking but then there are still areas that I adore. <br /><br /><br /><br />Luckily with our farm being in Iroquois County, it's not such a long way to come in and do things in Chicago from time to time. <br /><br /><br /><br />As far as politics, I think there are a few states that give Illinois a run for their money but sadly, Illinois has produced some real idiots.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-11887189624322315602013-08-16T15:51:56.092-05:002013-08-16T15:51:56.092-05:00Unfortunately there is the fact of many conviction...Unfortunately there is the fact of many convictions within Illinois politics.

Visitors also get you out to tourist stuff like museum, free concert, live shows, etc. I was joking about the Chicago lies. You know how news media can designate reporters for different fields?
