Income tax, crime, the drugs being pumped into the county, gas tax, the weather, etc. Got a job offer one day that I couldn't refuse. Admittedly, I was hesitant at first. I couldn't imagine going back at this point. Chicago will always be my home, and I have a profound love of the city and...
As far as I'm concerned, Illinois is a failed state, much like California. Hell, look at any statistics, people are flocking down here. There are good reasons for that, beyond the weather and women ;).
Ya know, it's kinda funny actually. Growing up (I'm 33 now), I was a typical liberal hippie, pro-this, pro-that (like it actually matters either way, right?). Getting older, I got my head on straight. The bias against the 'south' in the media and culture in general, up north, is outrageous...
I've been to Waffle House sober. Something tells me I'd enjoy it more after a dozen beers. Krispy Kreme came north recently so I've done that too. I don't know what Williamson Brothers is, though. Still working on the GFL...getting time off work to actually get down to the court house is a...
Hahaha, the 'FOID' card. My army buddy came to visit to do some shooting, and he whipped his FOID out at the range and the people working there were flabbergasted .
I hear ya. I'm frustrated with the state gov't, but more so frustrated with the people that do nothing about it and keep voting the same clique of ****heads in. How about this weather though? I wore shorts last December. Blew my mind lol.
I'm still stunned how big a deal College Ball is down here. I'm a Bears, Bulls, Sox and Black Hawks guy, never really paid much attention to anything else, but it's looking like I'm gonna have to lol.
Hey I might just take you up on that, the range where I have my membership isn't very long, maybe 30 yards at best. I'd like to play around with some more distance and see what kind of damage I can do with my Ruger.
I completely agree. Sure, there are jerks everywhere, but in general, "y'all" are much friendlier on a regular basis down here. I do miss Gino's East Pizza and our killer Italian Beef sandwiches, but I've had a few good Southern meals so far and the ladies down here...oh my, I do love the...
