Cahokia Mounds near St. Louis. The greatest native American civilization North of Mexico. No one has ever heard of it but it's a World Heritage site. Check out this month's National Geographic.
You can always visit the Illinois Center for Political Corruption...Mayor Daley is the poster boy...backed up by just about every Governor we have ever had!!
Even truckers don't like goin through because of the difference in speed limits on the interstates...Illinois is pretty much a wash...
Don't forget to visit Meigs Field Airport in Chicago....Oh that's right, they had a terrorist destroy the runway in the middle of the night.....
i agree, visit chicago if you have never been. you may hate it but hey its a famous city! Go to the top of the sears tower and walk in the little box with the glass floor!
