West Central Illinois

I've got good news and bad news. First, the bad news. It's now more likely the world will face a nuclear apocalypse. The good news is the tri-state area including northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois may have the best chances to survive it just fine. Maybe.

Could this be winter's last stand? Probably not, but we can always hope.

Apparently, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Office of Tourism feels a visit to Quincy and West Central Illinois is just not worth taking. I say this because once again, I received my copy of their Illinois Getaway Guide insert in the Sunday edition of the Herald Whig and Quincy was nowhere to be found in the magazine.
