The epicenter was in Virgil. The big-city media types have never heard of that town, so Sycamore was close enough.

Sycamore is the county seat in DeKalb County (it's common in Illinois; Woodstock is the county seat of McHenry County, etc.) and is close enough to DeKalb the town that the borders touch on Route 23/ (Route 23 is Sycampre Road in DeKalb and DeKalb Avenue in Sycamore.) My wife and I live in Mchenry County and are moving to DeKalb County soon. I wonder what this will do to real estate values in Sycamore, since it's been getting all the publicity as the earthquake capital in the last few hours.

Well, I just posted that to LibertyRocks, so ya beat me to it :)

Welcome to DeKalb. I'm in Rochelle, about 18 miles straight West. In fact, it's the wife's birthday and we're going to Johnny's Char House in Sycamore tonight for dinner. Maybe I won't have to ask them to shake my martini... :)

Yeah, Virgil. That's just East of our favorite restaurant, Sorrento's Ranch. Mmmmmmm, that prime rib is fantastic.
