A U.S. state that actually cares about women's health and prosecutes people attacking the facilities that provide it. Even though it's one state over from me, I have trouble picturing it.
Let's be real, it's that a U.S. city actually cares about women's health. Once you get outside of Chicago, you quickly find bumblefucks like this one. Their population is just so insignificant compared to the Chicago metro area that they're a minority in Illinois, whereas they're a majority in some of the states around.
You'd be surprised. I am right on the border with East-Central Illinois and yes, there are a lot of rednecks in the small towns, but there are also things like a very upscale cafe in a very tiny town and cannabis dispensaries full of friendly people who love to chat.
So it's more mixed than you would think.
Also, Casey is just a neat place.
I lived in Carbondale for a bit, which is a really neat college town. It's home to Southern Illinois University, one of the wildest party schools in the later part of the 20th century (to the point where city officials banned Halloween celebrations because they were getting out of hand), and it seemed to me like a tolerant, cosmopolitan town in south Illinois.
But then you drive a few miles south, and you get to Anna, one of the most infamous "sundown towns" in America.
It's definitely a big mix. Especially in the college towns. Charleston feels like that too.
I've never been down as far south as Carbondale, but I keep meaning to go to Garden of the Gods.
Its fun when you live 30 minutes from it but your state is completely back asswards. Ive been asking Santa for the last few years for IL to adopt all of STL
The only thing keeping IL from turning into its neighbors to is everything north of I-80.
Check out the “New Illinois” movement. As a guy who lives in the metro-East, its scary stuff.
The progressivism of the metro area is standing up pretty strongly to regressives around the edge. At least where I am.
One you get out of Madison and St. Clair counties things get different pretty quickly.
Oh I was talking about Chicago metro. I just gathered that you're down south.
It was good to see that Darren Bailey guy get destroyed in the gubernatorial election, because he was one of those dipshits.
