Get the Illinois mug.
A state with Chicago and a couple major downstate cities. I-80 is the cutoff for what you call the beginning of downstate Illinois. Most of the state is farmland. People grow corn mostly. Cook County has some corn mixed in with the city. The Chicago counties are called collar counties. R Kelly and Barack Obama and Oprah are some of the famous Illinoisans. The capital is Springfield.

The BEST state in the Union. From the bluffs and hill country in the south to the massive Chicago metropolis to the north, the beaches on Lake Michigan to the east, and the river valleys to the west, Illinois has got it all.

A state south of wisconsin, north of kentuckey, west of indiana, and east of missouri. Illinois is mostly flat with some rolling hills. Alot of its major industry is from agriculture or related feilds. Contrary to popular beleif, not all of Illinois is like Chicago and Chicago is not the capital (it's Springfeild, Illinois). Springfeild is the home state of President Lincoln (he was born in Kentuckey, Ronald Reagen was born in Illinois too. Overall, Illinois is a nice and well rounded state.
Despite what some people think, Illinois is a good place to live and you'll have to get your own opinion on the state through reasearch and other stuff.

Heaven on Earth
I am currently at school in Cleveland Ohio, trust all of Illinois rocks. I am from the suburbs of Chiacgo, i did not realize how good i had it until i came here.
First of all you cannot buy alcohol after 10 in ohio. they have no 24 hr. establishments, and their football team is the Browns.
The best things about Chigao are the pizza, Da bears, and that there is actually things to do here. those reasons alone are reason enough to live here.

A flat, cool state in the Midwest that has the Nation's 3rd largest city: Chicago. The state is said to have two different regions. Those are Chicagoland and Downstate. However, Downstate also applies to cities and areas north and west of Chicago, too.
In addition to that, here's something to think about: With the completion of the 2004 Presidential Election, a new map of the United States was created, including the "United States of Canada" and Jesusland. However, Illinois would be totally Republican if it wasn't for Chicago. That's why it is inaccurate to include all of Illinois into the United States of Canada as a Blue State.
