Joliet is a ghetto town, but only on the east side. the west side is mainly middle class, and some upperclass. it is well know for many state titles from the area Catholic high school, Joliet Catholic Academy, also known as JCA, with 13 state football titles and 9 volleyball titles. Although most of Joliet is shitty and ghetto, the people there love it and tolerate the gangsters. (:

Get the Joliet, Illinois mug.Antioch a northern town in Illinois bordering Wisconsin. The water comes out of the faucet brown, your neighbor's playing the banjo on his front porch. The lake isn't well... a lake, it's more muck then anything. Bugs are crawling everywhere I mean everywhere inside and outside. The weather is unbearable. The houses are in disrepair. The schools, well they're falling down as we speak. The funnest thing to do there is well play with a yo yo. Antioch it's HICKTOWN!

A place where dreams can be restored. When you don't like the way it is change it. Give your best.
Many people here are hurting. The drugs and negative lifestyles are a cry for help. Burdens weigh heavy. Men are thought to treat women like crap because of the example they have in their lives. Women accept harm and destruction in their lives because they see their mothers accept it. Quincy isn't a horrible place to live we just need change and God to change our hearts on how we view Quincy. We can make a choice, either sit and watch it fall apart or get out and make a change.
God is only limited by your faith and belief. He can make the change.
