That’s one of the two reasons I never cross the river, unless I must cross the state to go east.
The other reason is that the cop who wouldn’t stop for the carjacking would stop me for the revolver in the console. I’m legal in Missouri but do not want to spend years in an Illinois prison.
I have friends in ISP District 11 as well as civilian friends in Collinsville & Edwardsville and they’re telling me that the creeping ESL utopia is fast encroaching into their towns and residential areas.
I’m sure at some point North County and ESL will join together and encompass one huge area.
