Galesburg....Seriously? The only thing keeping Galesburg alive is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. All the factories have closed down. The mall is 2/3 empty, and what’s left is struggling. What does he think he is going to accomplish in Galesburg?
I’m sure the Rats will organize a big welcome for their leader:

Galesburg ‘s economy tanked in the 80s and never quite recovered. They got the railroad and the prison. All of those factories are gone. It was a nice place to grow up though, when the jobs were there.
