All joking aside, God bless all of you, and good luck.
Please ping the Illinois Freepers you know to this thread and ask that they ping others they know in this socialist shithole Illinois.
You could post it to the state message board, and then anyone who identifies as “Illinois” on FR will see it...

Bonemaker here stagnating in Lake County. I’d do it but don’t drive when I am drunk.
Railroaded here near Peoria.
fulltlt in Kane county.
You forgot McHenry county. I am on the verge of moving. Next spring, because I can’t do it sooner. The legal weed is great for many, but it is a manifestation of the fact that the state is out of money and needs more cash flow. I don’t think it’s going to work as anyone plans... I think the political machines will just expand and eat that cash too. Grassroots pushes to excise Chicago from the state would be great, but are basically symbolic, and don’t include Springfield. Too bad, too, because there are a lot of nice places once you get an hour plus out of Chiraq in just about any direction.
I’m here in
South Eastern Kane
Our Central Committee is
starting to organize regular
Pints & Politics gatherings
More info to follow.

I’m in east central IL now, but still have family in Will County. A meet up would be nice, but it depends on the date for me.
All joking aside, God bless all of you, and good luck.
DuPage county here and please ping me if you get a plan together to meet.
It would be wonderful to finally meet someone from this site!
Thanks
As an ex-Illinoian now living in Colorado, I’ve long been urging my brother to get the hell out of the state before it all falls down. Unfortunately, he can’t afford to stay and he can’t afford to move.
BlackElk (R.I.P.) passed away. My family escaped in 2014, but there will always be a piece of Rockford in me.
For later.

Nice a few of us left to contrast with the socialists :(
I’m way down in Franklin County, behind Enemy Lines. Living yet again. Taxation without Representation.
I’ve actually been around for 20+ years. I go back to the days of the start of Jim, Ed and Cory. Had an accout sign in issue in 2016, got to keep my name, but lost all my history.
I am still in Crook County. Will leave as soon as it’s possible for me. It’s getting closer month by month. I have a bunch of unused Uber gift cards I got for Christmas. What a lovely way to use some ;) (I don’t drive much anymore thus the cards). I do still take my Trans Am out once or twice a summer to the local car show still, but that’s about it. Put me on the ping list if you plan an outting.

I’m in Texas but had to stop by and read this thread. I will always have a soft spot for Illinois since my grandparents had a farm near New Burnside and life there makes up a large part of my favorite childhood memories. It is so sad to hear what is happening now. All of those friends and relatives there were the absolute salt of the earth.
dupage here. I remember back in the day, some of us Freepers meeting at some gin joint somewhere...great story, huh ? Nothing came of it...
Still here in Saint Charles. If I could sell my house for more than I owe on it, I would’ve moved years ago. WORST. STATE. EVER.
