The County 

The county is a little piece of Kentucky nestled into Illinois. In the County normal etiquette need apply. Here if you can see over the bar then you can drink.

And so the boy did.....leaving his mark in various dorm rooms and in various houses......he fears no man nor any beer...... he the man... the legend...... the warrior
