Been in SW suburbs for 30+ years. Only three years to go until we are out of here never to return.

I live across the river from Illinois in Gotham City. On our side of the bridges there are gas stations that sell cigarettes and liquor. All of these stations are exclusively used by people from Illinois.

Born on the south side of Chicago in 1955. Grew up in the south suburbs. Now live in west suburbs.

Jake and Elwood spent a little time at 1060 W. Addison St., Chicago, IL 60613.

Grew up in Palatine/ Rolling Meadows in the 80s-90s.

There’s a lot I miss. There’s a lot I don’t.

I was born in central Illinois and am still here 80 years later. I am now in Bloomington and have been for 61 years.

I have been traveling via Amtrak back and forth to Chicago as I was just diagnosed and am seeing specialists at Northwestern.

I am too old to leave.

I too live just across the river. I don’t know about booze and cigarettes, but the IL cars sure come over to buy gas.
