I live in So IL. Drug infested ghetto. Old historic town being destroyed by bad politics. They tear down historic buildings and replace them with 24/7 pot shops. They need more homeless drug addicts to commit property crime and burn down buildings.I have no choice. No Northeast, no California, no Minnesota, no New York, no Maryland.
Southern Illinois is very Missouri-esque.
I suspect if they could, they would become a part of Missouri.
