I'm from Illinois. Troy, Illinois. The Heartland. A Fly Over State. Corn! Brats on the grill. Pork Steaks. Deer, turkey, hawks all out my back door. Nice new subdivision out my front. Neighbors knowing neighbors. We don't keep our garage doors closed and we sit out back or front and say hey to the people going by. For me the school where I work is one minute away. Friday night football. 4 way stops in the middle of town where people collect donations for those in need. SMALL TOWN USA. You are all invited! BYOB cause I'm drinking sweet tea.
