Being alone is a serious matter. I know because I've been there. There's one city in Illinois that has just been recognized as a complete loner, the 2nd loneliest city in America.
I cannot say this about many topics in life, but I have become something of a moving expert. Thanks to my career, I've lived in just about every state in the country and that includes Illinois. Here are 5 cities I've learned you need to avoid like they're the plague if you decide Illinois is where you need to be.
What you're about to see is not from Texas even though it looks like something that would be way more common in the Lonestar State. It's an armadillo that was spotted on the run in extreme east-central Illinois and I have a photo to prove it.
I did a double-take the moment I saw this and I predict you will also. Did you know that there are 25 Illinois cities with a higher crime rate than Chicago? It's true and I have the numbers to prove it.
I would guess that when most think of crime in Illinois, their attention turns to Chicago. There are now multiple sources that prove that perception is not technically true as the most dangerous city in the Land of Lincoln is not the Windy City.
I am genuinely surprised. If you had told me that the most dangerous city in Illinois wasn't Chicago, I would have guessed it would have been a different place than the actual #1 most perilous place you can live in the Land of Lincoln.
Missouri has a lot of caves and many can be explored. However, there is one that is very pretty and is full of history that you're not allowed to go inside of.
What does it say about our society that emus running free through Danville, Illinois really isn't that strange anymore? It's been reported that at least one of these goofy-looking birds is still on the loose thanks to a new video share.
Old homes are very desirable in today's real estate market, and there is a town in Illinois that finished 2nd on the list of the 10 Metros with the Oldest Homes. It's not Chicago or Peoria, so which town in Illinois is filled with old homes and made this list?
If you have ever spent time around a Labrador Retriever especially in puppy form, you'll understand this. An Illinois lab named Bucky was captured on video experiencing snow for the first time.
