Food, history, architecture, sports, and did I mention food. See I'm a half glass full type of gal, always looking for the positive in things, when there is negative all around. Illinois has Michael Jordan, tenderloins, deep dish pizza, (ugh and I guess I have to mention) the World Series Champions Chicago Cubs. 

I mean, we are home to one of the best presidents to ever hold the position, Abe Lincoln. So, yes, there is A LOT to complain about living in Illinois, but there is also a lot to be lucky about.
