Of course, Illinois outside of Chicago is kindof like Santa Claus to me - you think it might exist, then you're not sure, then you're pretty sure it doesn't.

I had a pretty good laugh at this - and yes, I'm from Chicago. There are many areas of the country that border the South either geographically -- or culturally -- like parts of Missouri and Kentucky. Parts of the state may seem Northern, other parts might be much more Southern. The Mason-Dixon line becomes very arbitrary and people's personal interpretations are what matters.

This is a debate that will NEVER end.
I suggest you move this to the City Data forum.

Have you been there? Does it really exist? Oh noble explorer, what is this Southern Illinois you speak of?

I only say this crap to get Drolefille's panties all wadded up. Lord knows, growing up in Western NY we had to deal with the same mindset from NYC-dwellers - "What's Buffalo? Rochester? Isn't that where everyone goes to college?"
