White trash capital of the Illinois Ozarks. Largest consumer of fentanyl and oxycodone in the region. Largest producer of methamphetamine. Wear realtree camouflage to show your fashion sense. Pay Northern Illinois taxes for Appalachian hillbilly culture and disadvantages. Pretty good values in mobile home sites (even for double wides). Some great banjo venues.

A small town that thinks it's a city. Residents tend to talk big and do nothing. The few usefull people of the area are made to carry the weight of the ignorant majority.
