Andrew, Illinois is a long state, from north to south, and there are all kinds of good people there. Just look at Ish. He is as solid as a rock. I have met a lot of people in the southern half of Illinois, and they are good, friendly, and helpful people. I have had a bit of a problem with home grown Chicagoans though. I used to have to travel there, on business, 4 to 5 times a year, and did not leave contented, but I have to say, that Chicago is a stellar city compared to NYC.

Andrew-- the next time one of my neighbors mumble "damn yankee" I'll tell them you and I just switched places. I spend 60% - 80% of my time in SC, the remainder in OH. At first I was a 'yankee', someone who visits, leavers money, & goes home. No I'm a damn yankee-- a yankee that does not leave. Being near a tourist area the 'locals' no longer use the word 'tourist'. They are 'tourons' and 'pod people'.
